12. Fill in the blanks concerning this 1968 airline ad: "Our 8:25pm ________ Flight to New York is full of pretzels, bustles & beer. __________: The Airline Where New Things Are Happening!"

Also identify the aircraft type this flight was operated with.
Hint: equipment was a twin engine aircraft.

I've been pretty sure this was Mohawk since the question was first posed. However, I'm not so sure about the branding. "Gaslight Service" is the only thing that comes to mind and yet I associate that with the airline's DC-3s. Still, that's all I have to go with. The flight would likely have been coming from Upstate New York, perhaps Buffalo or Syracuse. As for the aircraft, I'm thinking that in 1968 it was a BAC-111.
