I was tempted to guess Republic (RC); however, let's go with America West (HP) with a B737-200 instead.
Yes!!! Good on ya, JL! Thanks for finally finishing this one off!
65. This airline operates more 727-200s into London Heathrow than any other.
Wild guess time: Pan Am.
Not so wild. In fact, spot on. Per the 1987 schedule I reference Pan Am served Amsterdam, Brussels, Frankfurt, Hamburg, Munich and Oslo with 72S equipment from LHR. Some of these flights continued on to other destinations such as Berlin and Helsinki.
