Inspired by a recent viewing of the movie Fargo, you immediately called in with the answer: Iowa’s very own Maynard Reese! Yesss!!!! Ding-Ding-Ding-Ding-Ding-Ding-Ding-Ding-Ding-Ding! Tell him what he’s won, Johnny: A free round trip ticket to New. York. City! You and a companion will fly roundtrip coach aboard the only nonstop daily flight from the only airport serving the Quad-Cities to New York’s LaGuardia Airport! Identify the airport as well as the airline and equipment used on this route. And what the heck - if you feel up to it, name the four cities that comprise the "Quad Cities".
Ah, sounds like yet another child of deregulation, although this new start up was a bit late to the game.....and they did not survive.

AccessAir with nonstop B737-200 service between Quad City Airport (MLI) and LGA.

And MLI serves the cities of Moline, Rock Island, Davenport and Bettendorf, all on the mighty Mississippi River.....
