[QUOTE=cs57;18393448]7.) Braniff---- "747 Braniff Place" (Ad campaign by Wells, Rich, and Green, If I remember correctly).
747 Braniff Place it is! That's one address I always wanted to visit but never did. Braniff's First Class to HNL was very nice back in the 70s.

6.) Automated monorail system--either SEA or DFW.
Both SEA and DFW trains run on dual tracks. So no, it was another airport that's still in use...[/QUOTE]

The BAe 146 operated by Aspen Airways. I think they were using Convair 580 turboprops before introducing jet service into ASE.
Correct! My first flight on a 146 came aboard Aspen's -100. Interestingly, the seating was 3-3 - quite tight for the 146 but then it was a pretty short flight from Denver to Aspen.
