Because I AM a professional SWA aviator I know what #1 and #3 are but you have me stumped on the speaker thingy.

#1: Mirror on a jetway #2: No idea #3: The main gear viewer on a 733

James, Gee whiz -- you went from pretty darn easy the first time around to pretty darn tough this time. But, I'll take a stab at it. 1.) This is obviously the makeup mirror mounted in the rear galley area where the FAs can 'powder their noses'. Actually, I think I seen this at the end of the jetway and is probably used by the person who "steers" the jetway up to the plane's outer fuselage. 2.) This is a close-up of your non-company issue boombox that you use to listen to tunes when you want to block out the screams of your passengers. Actually, I can tell that it is a speaker that is mounted inside something not usually visible due to the surrounding 'stuff'. My guess is a cockpit announcement system of some sort, perhaps the TCAS or ground avoidance system? 3.) Wow...I'm going to go way out on a limb here and guess that this is the view looking down through the fuselage at the landing gear viewing portal under the carpet in the floor about halfway back in the cabin? Next time, try some easier ones, like the close-up of a seat belt buckle or the inside of the lovely yellow margarine bowls/oxygen masks. ("Place over your mouth and breathe normally." Yeah, right, an inflight emergency has occurred, I've strapped a margarine cup over my face, and now I'm going to be breathing normally? Sure...) Kim 🙂

#2 in clearly a flux capacitor

Since the others have provided credible answers to #1 & #3, I'll take a stab at #2. It appears to be the speaker mounted overhead in the main cabin, beneath the overhead compartments. These speakers are how the PA announcements are heard through the cabin. The hint is that on the sides of the photo, you can make out what appear to be the oxygen masks (2 on each side).

1) Aft-galley mirror 2) Speaker in PSU (passenger service unit) 3) Landing gear viewer on a -300 at about mid-cabin floor.

Marc, That's "heavy"...but I think we're talking a 737 here, not a DeLorean! Kim "'Heavy'? Great Scott, does something happen to gravity in the future??" 🙂

1) The rearview mirror for the captain to see as he is backing the plane away from the gate. 2) The new Bose (r) flight attendant surrond sound call button speaker. 3)The 737 next generation ground proximity viewing device. In case of computer failure, use this manual one. Joe 😉

All Good Answers!! I'll post the answers on Monday! It looks like we have some movie freaks on here...I wonder how I can turn some of my travel thingies into movie thingies...hmmmmm.....Kim, any ideas? James

# 1 is obviously a Frisbee, the new deluxe chrome model. #2 is a CD player with only one bass speaker, you can see the slots to hold CD cases. #3 is a ladder going up to a windmill, the red thing must be some kind of safety device.

James, You could offer to give a "travel thingee" (I guess you mean a voucher) to anyone who will fly to Chicago and buy you admission to a movie? Now that I mention it, that's not a bad idea! You fly me to Midway roundtrip from Big D and the movie's on me! Kim P. S. But, you gotta spring for your own popcorn. However, if you would like some candy corn, I think I know where you can get some...real cheap. 🙂

I think #2 looks like a great place to hide a stash of candy corn for inflight munchie time. #3 looks like the robotic arm on the space shuttle. And #1 looks like the kind of mirror the dentist needs for rotted candy corn teeth. Brian

"2) The new Bose (r) flight attendant surrond sound call button speaker" That made me laugh out loud. "DINNNNG!"

That looks like a pretty nice speaker. Put a couple sub woofers in there, James, and I bet no one would try to sleep during your safety announcement. 😉

Adam - I can assure you that NO ONE sleeps through my safety announcement, because I went to the Carole Adams Barbie Boot Camp!! :-) I hope you all have a GREAT weekend! James

OK, my Nana just called and told me I had to come look at these pictures! Unfair, since I NEVER GET TO FLY!!!!!!! I keep asking to FLY ANYWHERE but so far, MY WONDERFUL BROTHER WHOM I LOVE and ADORE nor his bosses who I am SURE READ THIS have offered! But, in checking out the pics and cheating and reading previous answers since I am not a flight attendant and I will say I agree with the following: #1 A jetway mirror because it looks so compact and many would say a makeup mirror! Good one bro if I do say so myself! #2 I will agree with the speaker ABOVE the cabins and the oxygen masks beside! Woo Hoo - What do we get if we get all 3 right??? #3 I think you are all wrong and will consider that also a correct answer! Can't wait til Monday: Ring Ring - "James.......What on earth are those pics on your blog???" REALLY - I'm shocked! Good Job - I can't wait to read the responses to the answers! HA HA - Family secret!

Upon closer inspection of those pictures, I believe they are: 1.) The desk-mounted mirror that Captain Jack Sparrow (aka GK) uses to fix his makeup before leaving the bridge, err, his office. 2.) The ceiling mounted speakers above every single desk at HDQ that the Captain (also aka GK) uses to address his crew with hourly motivational briefings: "Now hear this, now hear this, this is your Captain speaking, you're doing a great job, carry on. This is all." 3.) The robotic arm mounted above Brian Lusk's desk, that when activated by the insertion of a quarter (recall the bin-mounted coin slots from the TV commercial), flings a single candy corn into his mouth. The red tape is the warning that the safety has been disengaged and it has been switched from single fire to "full auto", resulting in a rapid release of a burst of 100 candy corns at a time. Kim 🙂

All VERY good answers! I'm in SLC (Salt Lake City) tonight and will be flying all day tomorrow, so thought I'd go ahead and post the answers this evening. 1 - our Galley Mirrors to keep Customers like Kim from sneaking up on us as we go about our duties! 2 - the inside of the PSU (Passenger Service Unit) where the speaker and oxygen masks reside above each Passenger seat. 3 - the Landing Gear Viewer on the Boeing 737-300 series aircraft. You all did an OUTSTANDING job as usual! I hope you all have a GREAT week ahead! Don't forget to check out http://www.southwest.com for those great low fares. Book NOW for your holiday travel!

"...our Galley Mirrors to keep Customers like Kim from sneaking up on us as we go about our duties!" What James REALLY means is, "...to keep Customers from sneaking up and catching us dozing off in the galley..." Kim 🙂
