The airplane. According to the rules "an automotive or transportation device that contains the number".

128 contains the # 28. :buttkiss: :nana:

This from the guy who believes the "O" (oxygen) In H2O is a zero...

27 is a railroad mail car; 29 is a truck. What airplane?  ^-^

I'm still trying to figure out where #75 went....... ???

Oh, well.

Is that a Buick woody wagon in the background?  Can't remember what three portholes used to connote. Anything other than a Roadmaster, iirc....

I can't help it if the state doesn't know the difference between 0 & O, I just report the facts!! ;D

75 is written on the paper attached to the side of the car...However, there is no 76 (that I could find on the car)...

Now I know what you are talking about...I read that last night and still could see the tractor. I fixed it.

The image for #28 (or rather plane #128) seems to come and go...it must be hosted on a server that's a bit "flighty".

It's the year of the magazine, in faded blue.

That should get us up to speed on purportedly missing images and small fonts. In general I encourage this new trend of posting pictures with tiny, hard to find numbering. :)

However, a red "X" is a roman numeral.

I saw that, but my interpretation of "The NEXT picture should be of an automotive or transportation device that contains the number" meant it had to actually be on the "device", but I guess that is MG's call, as I thought it was stated differently.
