Lufthansa, 707-330B

Sie sind richtig, Herr DTW!

15. Traverse City, Michigan was served by a single jet flight each day. Please identify the airline, the equipment and the route.

I would have guessed DTW, but since that isn't an option, I'll go with a UA Express / Air Cheese BAe 146 TVC-ORD

Another a good guess and yet, surprisingly, it too is wrong. Please - deposit 25¢ and play again!

24. Once flown by everything from 707s to L-1011s to BAC-111s, during the summer of '92 the Miami to Nassau route was being served by a multitude of propeller driven aircraft and only a single daily jet flight. Identify the airline and the jet aircraft serving this route back then.

Bahamasair, 737-200

You'd think so, wouldn't ya? But no - it was a different airline...

29. This U.S. airline named select aircraft in its fleet after entertainers Sammy Davis Jr., Bob Hope, Jerry Lewis and Bing Crosby. Identify the airline and the aircraft type (It was the same type of aircraft for all four)

National Airlines, DC-10. I believe the DC-10 named Bing Crosby got its name because of NA's sponsorship of Bing's final Xmas Special. This Xmas special featured Bing's duet with David Bowie. I was nine years old when the special aired, and I thought Bowie was a "total creep". Little did I know that Mr. Bowie's "Let's Dance" would be the theme song for my 1983 high school summer vacation!

I don't think any planes were named after David Bowie though one U.S. airline did sell the Stardust Casino billboard rights to one of it's planes for awhile. As to National Airlines and its DC-10s, you are indeed correct!
