Delta - CV-880
National operating a DC-8 is correct. This flight originated in San Francisco as a red eye and made a stop in Las Vegas. NA 218 then departed HOU at 7:25a and arrived in MSY at 8:15a before continuing on to Tampa and Miami.

Eastern is correct.....but not with a 727. Please guess again!

Delta operating a Convair 880 is correct. DL 976 originated in HOU, departing at 7:15a and arriving in MSY at 8:04a. This flight then continued on to Baltimore and Philadelphia.
