greetings to all!

once again, the archives of stuff that I had stashed away at my mom's house have yielded some interesting documents

from a Piedmont Airlines timetable, June 1974:
1- (revised for clarity)identify all the North Carolina cities served by PI that also include Camp Lejeune in their timetable listings
2- identify the three PI destinations that were ONLY served by the Boeing 737 -- answered; MEM, BNA, LGA
3- identify the three PI destinations that were served by BOTH the Boeing 737 and the FH-227B partially answered: ORD
4- identify the only PI destination that was served by BOTH the Boeing 737 and the YS-11

speaking of PI turboprops, you are in Atlanta and learn that you have a luncheon meeting in Arlington VA the next day; you discover that you can take a 655am flight that arrives Washington National (DCA) at 1112am, then depart DCA at 359pm to get back to ATL at 959pm
5- identify the aircraft type and (in order, of course) the five intermediate stops on the northbound flight
6- identify the aircraft type and (in order, of course) the five intermediate stops on the southbound flight (hint: you will not transit the same airport twice)

from an Aeroflot timetable, summer 1974 -- the cover photo shows a flight attendant, with eyes closed and a slight but very suggestive smile, practically hugging a model of an Aeroflot jet:
7- what type of aircraft is she caressing?ANSWERED - TU-144
8- what day(s) did SU operate Moscow<-->Washington Dulles (IAD) service, and what was the intermediate stop?
9- what day(s) did SU operate Moscow<-->JFK service, and what was the intermediate stop?
