88. You are in Fairbanks, Alaska and need to fly across the border to Whitehorse in Canada’s Yukon Territory. Four years earlier, yours truly flew this route aboard a Wien 737-200. How times have changed! These days a different airline offers a single daily nonstop between FAI and YXY. Identify the airline and the aircraft used.
PARTIALLY ANSWEREDAir North has been identified as the airline of record. Now all we need is the aircraft type. It wasn't a DC-3
56. Western operating a B727-200 with an en route stop at SFO.
BTW, Palm Springs remains a popular destination for western Canadians during the winter months. For example, at one point, CP Air operated a weekend only nonstop with a DC-10 YVR-PSP.
57. Wild guess time (and probably incorrect)......
Casino Express with B737-200 service into Elko, Las Vegas and Reno.
88. Hmmmmm.....well, it's probably either a recip or a turboprop, I think. Let's go with a DC-4 operated by Air North.
