# **Last Flight**

# **Challenge Description**

Find the last known location of a plane and the country where a secret ECCM device was installed in April 1993, using only a photo of the aircraft.

## **Tools Used**

* Google Image Search  
* Planespotters.net

## **Solution**

### **Step 1: Aircraft Identification and Current Location**

1. From the provided image, we can identify that the aircraft is a Boeing 747  
2. Notable observation: The aircraft appears to be decommissioned, with ladders surrounding it  
3. Using Google Image Search with the query "747 decommissioned", we find similar images  
4. The distinct feature revealed: The aircraft has been converted into the "Jumbo Stay" hotel  
5. Current location identified: Arlanda Airport (ESSA) in Sweden

### **Step 2: Historical Research**

1. Using Planespotters.net to trace the aircraft's history  
2. Looking up the aircraft's records for April 1993  
3. Historical data reveals: The aircraft was operating in Canada during the device deployment period

### **Flag Construction**

The flag format requires: `country_of_deployement-icao_code_of_airport-country_of_airport`

Therefore:

* Country of deployment: Canada  
* ICAO code of current airport: ESSA  
* Country of current airport: Sweden

Final Flag: `canada-essa-sweden`

This was a two-part OSINT challenge requiring:

1. Current location identification through visual analysis and Google Image search  
2. Historical research using aviation databases to determine the aircraft's location during the target period
