Mikoyan Gurevich Mig-31 Firefox.........

fictional airplane from movie Firefox starring Clint Eastwood as Mitchell Gant, based on the novel by Craig Thomas.
My two favourite books, Firefox & Firefox Down (which should also have been made into a movie pity not in recent times 'cos the effects although okay for the time could have done with todays technology to bring it off).
Also love anything by Tom Clancy, Red Storm Rising and Red October are brilliant.

JimC

and the answer is:



The ficticious MiG-31 of 'Firefox.' Good job!

In the ending scene, the teens steal a cargo plane and fly it under the escort of an A-4 Skyhawk back to South Korea.
d. Uncommon Valor


For me only the first answer is a sure thing, the rest is pure guesswork.

Now for the answers:

1. In which film does a teenage boy steal two F-16B Fighting Falcons to rescue his MIA father?
c. Iron Eagle

Ah yes, who can forget this 'mastercheese' production in which 'Doug' (Jason Gedrick) steals a USAF F-16 with the help of local mechanic 'Chappy' (Louis Gosset, Jr.) - a classic 80s film about good guys wasting the bad guys while playing a walkman at the same time.

2. Which film portrays an elementary school age boy stealing an advanced SR-71 Blackbird?
b. D.A.R.Y.L

Nothing like kids stealing SR-71s ... here's one for the little guys well before 'Spy Kids' ever came out. In D.A.R.Y.L. we are introduced to a young boy who loses his memory after a car crash and is 'adopted' by foster parents. The boy - 'Daryl' (Barret Oliver) - is actually a top-secret US Army prototype cyborg (Data Analyzing Robot Youth Lifeform) and of course, the Army wants him back. In a scene reminiscent of 'Firefox' Daryl steals a SAC SR-71 and flies it all the way home.

3. Which 1980s television series features a pilot episode in which a rouge scientist steal a high tech, nuclear-equipped attack helicopter and lands it in Libya?
d. Airwolf

Ah yes, 'Airwolf' the supersonic Mach 2+ helicopter. An insane scientist, Dr. Moffet (David Hemmings) develops a top-secret helicopter for a US agency called 'The Firm' and later steals his own helicopter, flying it off to Libya. Gotta give this one some credit, it was classic 80s.

4. Which 1980s film depicts Californian college students sabotaging and modifying an experimental laser-equipped B-1B Lancer codenamed "Crossbow" to attack the house of their evil professor?
b. Real Genius

The 1970s had 'Animal House' and the 1990s had 'American Pie' but the 1980s had 'Real Genuis'! PacificTech (a.k.a. 'CalTech') undergrad Chris Knight (Val Kilmer) is about to graduate when he realizes that his entire thesis work has actually been devoted to building a space laser intended for military purposes. His evil professor Dr. Hathoway (William Atherton) is allergic to popcorn, so the solution: Knight packs the professor's house with a giant foil ball filled with tons of popcorn kernels, and modifies the Air Force's B-1B laser plane to fire at the professor's house. Instant popcorn, and a classic 80s ending complete with "Everybody Wants to Rule The World" as a closing credits song.


5. Which 1980s movie depicts two F-16A Fighting Falcons armed only with AIM-9 Sidewinder missiles launching from March Air Force Base, CA to attack a stolen experimental attack helicopter maurading over the skies of Los Angeles?
c. Blue Thunder

Nothing like a police helicopter armed with a multi-barrel, trackable cannon! When police helicopter pilot Frank Murphy (Roy Scheider) discovers that the CIA is inciting crimes in LA as an excuse to mass produce "Blue Thunder" prototype attack helicopters, he steals the helicopter in a quest for truth. Gotta love the F-16 scene.

6. Find a match for the following 1980s movie plot: A special US Air Force satellite is due to be launched from Vandenburg Air Force Base, CA. The Russians attempt to thwart the launch by sending in a college-age KGB recruit to steal experimental UCAV helicopters codenamed "DART" to attack the rocket. In the battle that ensuses, an entire squadron of F-16s and F-5s are sent to chase after the stolen DART helicopters. What film is this?
d. Defense Play

Here we go ... classic 80s low budget movie where the communists are the bad guys who are always trying to rule the world, but a teen saves the day.

7. Name the film that matches the following plot: two experimental F-117 Nighthawk fighters with a Virtual Reality flight control system are tested over Turkey and malfunction. In the process of shipping the F-117s home on a C-5 Galaxy, terrorists attack the transport and steal one of the F-117s.
c. Interceptor

Another stereotypical 'steal the stealth fighter' movie, Interceptor was just bad, bad, bad, bad ....

8. Which film depicts the following plot: An 11-year old boy who likes videogames is slipped an Atari game cartridge in a video store which contains top secret information and technical schematics about the SR-71 spyplane. An entire army of spies attempts to kill the boy for the videogame.
b. Cloak and Dagger

Yes, yes, before there were 'steal the stealth' movies, there were 'steal the SR-71' films ...

9. Which film matches the following description: An insane US Air Force fighterpilot who likes eating BBQ ribs steals an F-21 Aggressor and goes on a rampage destroying his base and fellow squadron mates in his attempt to nuke Las Vegas. The pilot later lands his F-21 on a highway and conceals his plane in a barn so that he can illegally arm the F-21's tactical nuclear free-fall bomb. While attempting to nuke Las Vegas, the pilot is shot down by an F-16 ace.
b. Flight of Black Angel

Loaded with Iron Eagle stock footage, Flight of Black Angel is the story of a rouge F-21 on a mission to start Armageddon. The 'ribs' eating scene is hillarious ...

10. Which film features the following plot: a team of Navy SEALs are captured in North Korean waters, and when the US Government forsakes them, their teenage children decide to go in after them. In the ending scene, the teens steal a cargo plane and fly it under the escort of an A-4 Skyhawk back to South Korea.
c. The Rescue

Yes, yet another 80s teen movie. It's an Iron Eagle without the F-16s and with more teens in it.

All right, next trivia questionaire, this time taken from the game. This one is a 'take home' test so feel free to check your notes by playing Acecombat 4.

How Well Do You Know Acecombat?

1. In "Operation: Countdown" (Mission 08, 1335 hrs 31 Dec 2004) Mobius Squadron is sent to intercept an Erusian squadron of air-superiority fighters attempting to attack the Comona launch facility. Excluding the player's aircraft, which of the following correctly describes the composition of opposing force ISAF fighters participating in the operation?
d. 2 F-16s, 2 F/A-18s, 2 F-14s

Simple memory question, those who have this one memorized have obviously played this mission one too many times to be healthy!


2. In "Operation: Megalith" (Mission 18, 0800 hrs 26 Sep 2005) Mobius Squadron is tasked with a last-ditch, desperate strike on the superweapon Megalith. Excluding the player's aircraft, which of the following correctly describes the composition of opposing force ISAF fighters participating in the operation?
a. 2 F/A-22s, 3 R-M01s, 3 EF-2000s

The principle behind #2 is identical to #3 … the hardcore AC players love missions 8 and 18 and would likely have this one memorized.

3. 'Yellow Thirteen' is the antihero of Acecombat 4. Which of the following choices is the implied name for Yellow Thirteen?
c. Dave Jordan

Curveball question … to know the answer to this one, you had to have loooked at the official AC website.

4. Which of the following targets, based on information provided in the pre-flight wireframe briefing map, is located on a rendered portion of the Usean continent geographically similar to the real-world Texas and the Gulf of Mexico?
a. Allenfort Air Base

This one is tricky and requires an understanding of geography … however if you look at the briefing map for Allenfort Air Base, you will see clearly see the Texas river system (including the Rio Grande River!) and the Gulf of Mexico. Looks like Namco modifed the Texas map to make this one.

5. In the pre-release Acecombat 4 trailer, what is the player's callsign?
b. Alpha One

“Alpha One, this is EagleEye, we’ve got you on radar.” “This is Alpha One, it’s good to know we’ve got our mess covered.” Another curveball question requiring a visit to the website.

6. What is the tag-line to Acecombat 4?
d. “It’s Changing Everything Again.”

The Japanese tagline.

7. The elite 156th Tactical Fighter Wing is an all Su-37 Flanker unit tasked with protecting Stonehenge, and it is referred to by the ISAF as 'Yellow Squadron.' What is the alternative Erusian name for Yellow Squadron?
a. Aquilla

Yet another curveball question.

8. Which of the following aircraft is not deployed by the ISAF?
b. MiG-33

The only aircraft not featured in the ISAF is the MiG-33 (MiG-29K).

9. Stonehenge was attacked on two separate occassions by the ISAF. According to the introductory briefing, “attempts to destroy Stonehenge through airstrikes failed.” What aircraft were used in the first, failed airstrike on Stonehenge?
c. F-15E Strike Eagles

Good job if you got this one right … this one’s a toughie! It’s arguable whether or not the F-15Es managed to knock out one of the cannons (one is not functioning if you look closely) or whether that was simply the result of the meteor shower.

10. What is the Erusian technical acronym for the anti-meteorite cannon array known as ‘Stonehenge’?
d. STN

“Stay clear of the STN fire!”

11. What does the acronym ‘FEAF’ stand for?
b. Free Erusea Air Forces

12. What type of political structure best describes Erusea’s government?
c. Facist

The rationale behind this one is found in the statements, “[Expletive deleted] facists! They’re going to level the city!” and “Get out of our town, you facist pig!”

13. What color is Yellow Four’s hankerchief?
d. Pink

Had to see it to believe it.

14. What unit number appears on all aircraft piloted by Mobius One?
c. 118

A no-brainer, actually.

15. Which of the following aircraft is seen flying alongside Mobius One’s aircraft only once in Acecombat 4?
d. SkyEye

The AWACS E-767 is seen only once in the closing FMV sequence.

16. Based on Mobius One’s initial deployment, first available aircraft and last available aircraft, what branch of the ISAF service is the Mobius Squadron most logically affiliated with?
b. The ISAF Navy

The first mission is a carrier mission, the first aircraft is a Navy F-4, and the final and ultimate aircraft – the X-02A – is a carrier based aircraft.

17. Which of the following fighters is not employed by the FEAF?
d. MiG-31 Foxbat

18. Which of the following activities is not witnessed in AC4?
d. ASAT missile launches

This one should have been simple. The ASAT attack was only ‘implied’ by the boy.

19. Which month does Mobius Sqaudron’s AWACS controller have a birthday in?
d. September

The game begins and ends in September.

20. Which of the following aircraft is never present in Mobius One’s supporting ISAF element(s)?
d. X-02

Simple question, the squadron never uses the X-02.

BONUS Question: True or False – ‘Mobius One’ is the squadron leader for Mobius Squadron.
b. False

Mobius One is clearly not the squadron leader … if you allow your wingmen to slug it out on their own in Mission 18 to the point where several of them get shot down, you will hear the squadron leader tell Mobius One to take over.

Wo-hooo! You blew the quiz away (18/20 = 90), huh? I'm especially impressed that you got #3 and #9 correct.
