3 questions wrong because robinson was on the blue. r/softwaregore
If you did not have “Robinson R22 and Piaggio P.180 Avanti” as the option, you had to check the table to determine the correct answer.
I have kept the blue thing in the post in case someone got the same options what I got.
I got one wrong as I didn’t check the rank carefully. Anyway thanks for your help and time.
Piper PA-28 Cherokee…. Robinson R22. For Today’s This or That 9-29-22. Piper PA-28 Cherokee is correct…
Thanks for posting your comment.
Yes, in the above table, Piper PA-28 Cherokee is 37, whereas Robinson R22 is 52. So, Piper PA-28 Cherokee is correct.
I was able to answers most of them just by looking at the images of the aircraft. The ones with older look are correct answers.
