Ozark Air Lines Trivia

We are going to try a little different variation to the traditional trivia games where one group comes up with all the questions and another group answers the questions. Instead; were inviting everyone to post trivia questions as well as respond to previously posted questions.

Ground rules.... I'm sure these are not necessary for any Ozarkian; however, for others let's "Keep it clean", no embrassing questions/responses "don't post anything that you would not want posted about yourself". The Go Getter Bird reserves the right to edit (delete) any non appropriate posting. Thanks in advance!

We will attempt to maintain a listing of the questions and the first person to correctly answers the question. Note: If you post a question, please email your question and the correct answer to the (Go Getter Bird).
