A. Valujet Airlines bumper sticker and refrigerator magnet
B. Long Prosper 1:180 scale United Airlines (n/c) 737-300 model

This quiz is being posted on Friday, January 26 2001 at 8:45AM PST.
the quiz will be open until 8:45PM PST tonight, or until someone correctly answers all 10 questions correctly-Provided that they do not follow up with a post containing a wrong answer afterwards, as was the case with the last quiz. So if you wish to participate more than once, check your answers carefully, because your most recent post is the one that is going to count. So if someone answers all 10 questions correctly, and then afterwards posts a reply containing one or more wrong answers, and then a second person answers all 10 correctly, the second person will be declared the winner.

Well if you want the model, then I suggest you make a repost because you do not have all 10 of them correct. Actually, as of now, no one has all 10 correct yet.
Let's keep going.
