And the sun has once again appeared here as the latest round of thunderstorms have now moved offshore over the Gulf of Mexico.....

Here's four more quiz items from the 1960's to round out my brief set.

7. It's 1965 and you are in New York City where you've just completed a project as a consultant. The phone rings and you have a hunch who it might be before you even pick up the phone. "Hey buddy!" you hear, "It's time to go sailing!" Yep, it's your old friend from Santa Barbara. "So where are you on this fine evening?" you ask and the reply is "The Honolulu Yacht Club! And you won't believe the great deal I just made on a practically new 50 foot monohull!" And so, you begin to research flights. There's a departure from JFK at the civilized time of 11:35 am the next morning which will get you into HNL at 9:12 pm. So you book a pair of first class seats, one for you and one for your lady friend. The flight you'll be traveling on makes three intermediate stops en route. Identify the airline, the equipment and all three stops in the order in which they will be made. And for bonus points, what was the name this airline used to market its flights to Hawaii?

8. In 1966, this airline became the first Spanish air carrier to operate the Fokker F27. Name the air carrier. ANSWERED

9. It's 1967 and you are back in New York City working on yet another project. Your location is very close to LaGuardia Airport. You need to attend a meeting in Los Angeles so you book a flight departing from LGA at 2:00 pm which arrives at LAX at 7:45 pm. This flight makes three intermediate stops en route. Identify the airline, the aircraft and the three stops in order.

10. In 1968, only one air carrier was operating Boeing 727-100 service nonstop between Los Angeles (LAX) and Salt Lake City (SLC). Name the airline.
