1) Overwing exit mount? 2) Aft section of Forward galley? 3) Sink?

Not sure what #1 or #3 are, but #2 looks like Jame's secret stash of emergency rations.

1. F/A jumpsuit in the front of the plane- topview looking down 2. 3 Boxes of delicious "Plane Crackers" in the galley storage area - Plane Crackers Rule - Love em! Could also be boxes of snack packs. 3. Bottom left hand portion of a rear exit emergency door What is the prize for getting all the answers correct ?

1.) Emergency pillows for James to use during a 4hr taxiway delay in PHL... 2.) Top Secret storage compartment for Brian's candy corn (cleverly disguised as Ritz Sticks) 3.) Storage ring where Cap'n Stark hangs the plane's keys at night...

1. emergency instructions for dealing with unruly passangers as their flight from Tul to Stl skips stl and goes to Dtw. 2.snacks for said passengers. 3. hiding place when snacks fail to calm passengers. Joe

Being an FA already (but not for SWA [yet], so I'm not disqualified!) makes #1 a little easier. Those are crew life vests underneath the jumpseat. #2 can only be a storage locker in a galley, full of yummy Ritz crackers. #3 is the tricky one. That shiny plastic looks like the stuff they use in the lavs. So I'm going to say it's a picture of a screw. In the lavatory. 🙂

Bud Light has fried my brain. I flew LAX -LAS r/t today. I should of printed out the pictures and had the f/a's answer the quiz. Would that have been cheating?

#1 can't be crew life vests but they look like PFD's #2 I agree it's galley storage - I hope that's not the only thing served! #3 is a lock - I'll guess on a TP holder - but why would anyone want to steal TP on a plane?

James, Thanks for thinking of me and for missing me! I've been so much up to my armpits in alligators, that I almost forgot I was supposed to drain the swamp...or to stay active on my favorite website/blog! Let's see: #1 -- this is definitely the area below the FA seating area by the front door, and its orange color certainly implies it is an "emergency" device, so I'm going to go with FA life vests OR emergency candy corn dispensers for whenever Blog Boy comes on board. #2 -- front storage compartment for extra snacks...(DUH)...OR hiding place for very small FAs who enjoy playing "hide-and-seek" with the Captain inbetween flights. #3 -- based on the color and shape, I'm going to go with the left side of the "sitting area" inside the lav below the oval seat the frames the...well, you get the idea. This could also be the place where Blog Boy orally disposes of the excess undigested candy corn after a particularly bumpy flight. Kim 🙂

Hey James, just out of curiosity, are you a photography nut too? I always try to have my camera with me on trips in case I see something especially rare or unique. Like last week when the Midwest got caught in that snowstorm, I had an overnight in GRR (Grand Rapids, MI), and when we got to the aircraft the next morning there was almost a half-inch of ice on it. That, coupled with the snow on the ramp and the gray-blue fog in the air, made for a stunning photo op.

Hey Tommy, Just like "there's no crying in baseball," there are no rules in "What Am I?" And, Kim, my digestive system is so well tuned for candy corn, I retain every tasty bite. Blog Boy

Good Morning Bloggers - the time has come to reveal the answers. #1 - it is the underside of the FWD F/A jumpseat where our Lifevests are stored. #2 - is the AFT wheelchair compartment which can also be used for trash AFTER those snacks were handed out. ;-) #3 - Kim...you still amaze me. You are absolutely correct regarding this picture. It is a nut next to the toilet in the Lavs. I think you spend way to much time in airplanes to have recognized this picture. (btw, did you see the article that companies are trying to save money by having Customers use the restroom before the plane?) Perhaps you should consider this as well. ;-) Adam - yeah...I tend to be a little bit of a photography nut as well. I just invested in the coolest new camera. A Sony 10.1 megapixel cam, with touch screen, etc...etc...But I do have a question for ya'll if anyone can help. How do I turn off the automatic flash so I can control it manually? If anyone can help me, please feel free. Brian - When is the Flickr site going to be up and running so Adam can post some of his pictures? I hope you all have a good week! Regards, James Malone MDW FA

James, if the camera is in the "auto" mode, the flash will fire as needed. If you place it in any of the manual shooting modes then it should be at your discretion. I have a Nikon D80 so the buttons are a little different, but all SLR's should work the same in this respect. Feel free to e-mail me at Stangera (at) Gmail.com and we can try to figure out exactly how it works.

Are you sure Kim spends too much time in airplanes or in the aiplane lavatory? Some airlines are also reducing the water on board for the toilets. Yech!
