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!

Although there are few differences here and there which are noted below.....

Here are the actual routings concerning quiz item 14) for Southern Airways and National Airlines......

SO 201: VPS-PFN-TLH-MCO-MIA Equip: DC-9-10 Op: Sundays only

SO 213: VPS-PFN-MCO-MIA Equip: DC-9-10 Op: Daily except Sundays

NA 28: SFO-LAS-IAH-MSY-MOB-PNS-PFN-TLH-JAX-MCO-MIA Equip: B727-200 Op: Daily (Note: Nine (9) intermediate stops between SFO and MIA)

NA 32: MSY-MOB-PNS-PFN-TPA-MIA Equip: B727-200 Op: Daily

And the actual routings for quiz item 15) noting that all flights were indeed operated by Braniff International with B727-200 equipment......

BN 68: MIA-FLL-DFW-DEN Op: Daily

BN 176: MIA-DFW-DEN Op: Daily

BN 72: MIA-DFW-DEN Op: Daily
