I'll try a couple of jlemon's questions before heading off to church:
From PFN-MIA:
Southern, using a DC-9, (originating at Eglin Air Force Base VPS) stopped at Tallahassee (TLH) and Orlando (MCO).
National, using a 727, stopped at TLH, JAX, and MCO.
National, using a 727, stopped at TPA.
Both of the NA flights also originated elsewhere, with other intermediate stops, making them real milk runs:
MSY-MOB-PNS-PFN-TLH-JAX-MCO-MIA
SAN-IAH-MSY-MOB-PNS-PFN-TPA-MIA.
That would be Braniff, with 72S service on all of the flights, which all stopped at DFW. One also stopped at FLL, one at TPA.
The answers from
miniliq are both essentially correct!
