UofT CTF 2024
Flying High [100 pts]
I’m trying to find a flight I took back in 2012. I forgot the airport and the plane, but I know it is the one with an orange/red logo on the right side of this photo I took. Can you help me identify it?
The flag format is UofTCTF{AIRPORT_AIRLINE_AIRCRAFT}. AIRPORT is the 3 letter IATA code, AIRLINE is the name of the airline (dash-separated if required), and AIRCRAFT is the aircraft model and variant (omit manufacturer name). For example, UofTCTF{YYZ_Air-Canada_A320-200} or UofTCTF{YYZ_Delta_767-300}.
Note: The aircraft variant should be of X00 format; ie. there may be models with XYZ-432, but the accepted variant will be XYZ-400.

Airport:
- Logo of nearby hangar reads “novespace”, which is an airline
- Searching up “novespace airport” returns a location. Google Street View near the Novespace hangar shows the image!
- The nearby airport is the Bordeaux-Mérignac Airport, with code BOD
Airline:
- Search “ib airline” due to logo looking somewhat like an “ib”
- Check out this image: https://www.google.com/search?client=firefox-b-1-e&sca_esv=598255384&sxsrf=ACQVn0-tbdHKEfEboXMrsYkF3QBoNwXiuQ:1705193363471&q=ib+airline&tbm=isch&source=lnms&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwjEw8-l1NuDAxVxlWoFHU8RB2gQ0pQJegQIFhAB&biw=1536&bih=713&dpr=1#imgrc=SjNortQZtQ5CiM
- Clicking on the Wikipedia link and scrolling down to the image, the caption reveals that it is the old logo of Iberia Airlines.
Airplane:
- Searching up “Iberia aircraft”, we can find this site.
- Once I reached this point, I decided to just brute force all possibilities, as I wasn’t sure how to proceed otherwise.
I eventually ended up with the flag:
UofTCTF{BOD_Iberia_A340-300}
