["Gimme Some Lovin'" by The Spencer Davis Group.] What are cowl flaps? What is their purpose? [Cowl flaps are used to adjust to volume of air that passes over the cooling fins of an aircraft piston engine. Under takeoff and landing these flaps are open to allow maximum airflow and under normal flight they are closed to maintain normal engine temperature.] What's the name of the song that plays on the radio while they're fixing the plane? Not the Mexican song, the pop one. ["Hey Ya" by Outkast.] Answered by MoonFaery Where did the nomads get ammo for the guns and gas for their motorcycles?
