21. An excellent guess as the air carrier was indeed Pacific Air Lines operating a B727-100.

However, the departure airport was not LAX nor was SJC the intermediate stop.

So please guess again!


22. CP Air operating a stretched Super DC8 is correct!

However, YYZ was not the first intermediate stop: it was actually Windsor (YQG). Here's the sched.....

CP 522: Montreal 18:15 - 19:40 Windsor 20:20 - 22:25 Mexico City 23:59 - 06:20 Lima 07:20 - 11:30 Santiago 12:15 - 14:55 Buenos Aires
