18. In November 1970 South Lake Tahoe was served by one Intrastate carrier, two commuter carriers and one full service carrier. Identify the full service carrier along with its route into TVL and the equipment used.

By November of 1970, I think Air West had become Hughes Airwest, so that's the full service carrier I'll go with. I believe the route was TVL-SFO and the aircraft was the Fairchild F-27 turboprop.

And I still have fond memories of arriving and then departing from South Lake Tahoe during the summer months many years later on board an ex-Air Cal B737-300 operated by AA!
