62. In the summer of 1983, San Antonio (SAT) featured flights operated with 767, DC-8 and DC-10 aircraft. In each case, only one airline was serving SAT with this specific equipment which was flown on only one nonstop route. So with this scenario in mind, answer the following questions:
62-A: What airline was operating 767 service into SAT and on what nonstop route?
62-B: What airline was operating DC-8 service into SAT and on what nonstop route?
62-C: What airline was operating DC-10 service into SAT and on what nonstop route?
62A: DL SAT-DFW
62B: DL SAT-ATL
62C: AA SAT-DFW
Both AA & DL had a DFW hub at the time. I can imagine both of them operating DC-10s on SAT-DFW. (Oh, if that was only the case today, I'd be booking a trip!)
For the DC-8, my first instinct was UA, but they didn't have much penetration into Texas.
