Geocache Description:

To give credit where credit is due, this puzzle cache draws inspiration from an old CRAZY DIAMONDS puzzle that was archived a few years ago. The flight plan below will give you all of the information you need, but the final cache actually is not in Seattle contrary to what it may say. Please bring your own writing utensil and check Certitude for the hide hint.


Good morning and thank you for flying Southeastern Massachusetts Airlines!

On behalf of the company, we just wanted to give you an overview of what your expected flight plan will be today. Even though you already know this, we are required to inform you that your departure point for this flight is scenic North Attleboro, Massachusetts. Our route today will take you a few thousand kilometers across the country with hopefully as little turbulence as possible. Once we have left the runway, our true airspeed should be approximately 140 knots. Our true airspeed will then eventually accelerate to 180 knots before stabilizing for the hopefully the bulk of the flight until we begin to descent, in which our true airspeed should dip back down to around 140 knots until we are close to the runway. The visual flight rules for this aircraft have been cleared by the pilots and air traffic controllers, and we expect nothing but clear skies for the flight ahead of us. If for whatever reason our route needs to be changed, an announcement will be made. The same goes for our final destination of Seattle; if the airport there is experiencing problems of some kind, we will have to change our route and potentially land at a nearby airport until Seattle has cleared us. Lastly, our aircraft type as you may already known is a Boeing 787 which is comfortably fitting all of you.

That completes our overview of the flight plan today. Hope you enjoy your flight and thank you for choosing Southeastern Massachusetts Airlines!

North 41 XX.XXX West 071 XX.XXX

NOTE: Once you have solved the puzzle, please apply an offset to the cache. Add .006 the solved north coordinates and subtract .005 from the solved west coordinates and THEN check the coordinates in Certitude.


You can validate your puzzle solution with certitude.
