And speaking of Royale Airlines, here's a quiz item: Although this carrier primarily operated turboprops during its existence, it also flew jet equipment at one point. Identify this aircraft type (hint: it was not a regional jet).
This quiz item remains unanswered as well.....

And I'm really looking forward to the answers concerning questions .12 and .13 from Seat 2A.

I do know that Braniff flew MCI-MKE in 1982 with 727s. I also do not believe that Midwest Express was around yet in 1981 with DC-9-10 service on the same route......
