Geocache Description:

An easy (we think) Puzzle Cache and the first in the MagCreek Series (there might be more later).

THE CACHE IS NOT AT THE ABOVE COORDINATES!!!

Oh yeah, that's right, we've gone over to the dark side and published a puzzle cache! However, it's more like the grayish side as this one shouldn't take too long to figure out and the find should be really easy.

Word of warning however, this cache was placed early in the year and we bet that plant growth (and potentially briars) will make it more difficult as the year progresses.

Those of you who know us or have read our profile know we like aviation. Therefore, this puzzle cache is aviation related. It is a tribute to the 111th Fighter Squadron and the 147th Fighter Wing currently based at Ellington Field. They have the honor of being the longest continuously flying squadron in the Air National Guard. Please visit this webpage to view their history: http://www.txelli.ang.af.mil/111th_History.aspx

Anyway, in the history of flying, there have been some pretty impressive feats of airmanship. These gentlemen are some of the more/most accomplished, but are still relatively unknown. If you can figure out what they've done, you can solve the puzzle.

W9509.CDE

ABC = Frederick Gillette Barkhorn
CDE = Hartmann Bong Debellvue

Have fun! That's all you get. No special rewards for FTF
but this ammo can starts off loaded with aviation "related" swag. Well, okay, FTF can just take something for no trade. Aren't we Santa Claus's?
