Since then I've been waiting for a time of day to post when many of us are typically on the internet, and as such will allow more of us to have a reasonable chance to answer at least a few of these questions. Good luck, all!

3. This Midwestern airline ordered two 737-200C and one 737-200. Had it taken delivery of any of these aircraft (it never did), it would have been the first airline to operate the 737-200 Combi.

4. Which airline was instead the launch customer for the 737-200 Combi?

6. Which U.S. airline named its jets “Vista Jets”?

9. Which U.S. Airline was known as the “Airline Of The Stars”?

10. What was the first U.S. airline to sell tickets on the web in 1995 and the first to introduce web check-in, in September 1999?

For you timetable aficionados, the following questions are based upon schedules from the October 15, 1981 OAG. I reckon any diligent OAG readers should be able to come up with a good guess if not the correct answer right off the top of their heads.

11. This was the only airline offering nonstop service between New Orleans and Cleveland.
3. Wouldn't this one be Ozark?????
4. Wien Air Alaska
6. Allegheny
9. I THINK this one is National Airlines
10. Alaska Airlines
11. Wouldn't this one be United?
