21) In the fall of 1986, this airline was operating scheduled passenger flights with a Tupolev 154 into Miami. Name the air carrier.
I think this would be Guyana Airways, who were the only operator of the Tu154 in The Americas at the time, coming in from Georgetown. They got a new aircraft early in 1986, which after a few years was disposed to Cubana, and later went back to Russia, where it has trickled through a few secondary operators. Last heard of in Krasnoyarsk only a few years ago, so it might still be flying. You would think that Cubana would have been well placed to support this one-aircraft operation, but bizarrely this was done by Tarom of Romania, who had also provided a loan aircraft the previous year fully painted up in Guyana colours.
