Clear for Takeoff

Q:


Think of a three letter airport code for a city in south Asia.  Change the third letter to name another airport code for a city in the midwestern US.  Insert a Roman numeral between the two codes.  The result will spell a part of the human body.

  2. Is that a stock photo of some generic VOR antenna, or is it from one of the airports in question?

  5. BTW, am I to assume that once one of us has posted the answer ROT13'd, that then the midweek puzzle will never be answered officially? I've noticed now that THE LAST TWO of your mid-week puzzles have still not been answered officially, only their ROT13'd solutions have been posted.
