28. You will depart Miami (MIA) at 7:50 am and arrive at Chicago O'Hare (ORD) at 11:40 am. Two intermediate stops will be made en route. Identify the air carrier , the two stops in the order in which they will be made, the aircraft and the total number of seats in first class.

28. Well, the aircraft was a DC8....but what model of DC8 and how many seats were there in first class?
And the air carrier in question was not Eastern.
Plus, Orlando (MCO) was one of the stops. However, TAL (?) was not the other stop. Did you actually mean Tallahassee (TLH)?

I think it was shipped over in crates to CSA, the Czechoslovakian airline, running from Prague and Bratislava to Zagreb in about 1930. It replaced Farman Goliaths, a quite widely used French timber-built airliner of the 1920s, which were assembled by Czech manufacturer Letov. The Tri-Motor only lasted a few months before it crashed, and the route went back to the Farmans.
Bonus question. Is this it ?

Just to remind that this was a question ......

Please see post #11064....and I've come across some hopefully interesting information concerning Boeing 727-200 aircraft operated by Southwest which I shall share when my bonus quiz item concerning the other two destinations served by WN with the 72S in 1979 is answered.

I will take a final stab at it and suggest Lubbock (LBB) Rio Grande Valley (HRL). Each of these cities had non stops to both DAL and HOU.
