  4. Melbourne (MLB)
  5. Vero Beach (VRB)
  6. Ft Lauderdale (FLL)

How about a Viscount, stopping at Tri-Cities (Bristol/Kingsport/Johnson City; TRI) after ATL ... if that's the wrong equipment, I'll have to speculate that this was a DC-6 since I don't think UA ever graced CRW with their Caravelles

Fingers still crossed for Kate
17) Yes indeed, it was Eastern with a Convair 440. Here is the list of guessed and unguessed en route stops thus far:

Flight Origination: Atlanta (ATL)

Stops:

1. Macon (MCN)

2._______________

3. Jacksonville (JAX)

4. ______________

5. ______________

6. Vero Beach (VRB)

Final Destination: Miami (MIA)

18) United was operating a Douglas DC-6 in an all coach configuration on this route. However, this flight did not stop at Tri-Cities Airport (TRI) en route. So here's a hint: the other stop was in Florida between PBI and ATL.

And here's a bonus quiz item....

34) In 1994, what airline was operating direct, one stop jet service six days a week from Daytona Beach (DAB) to Tri-Cities Airport (TRI) in Tennessee? Also identify the equipment and the intermediate stop. And note the aircraft type was not a regional jet. ANSWERED
