9. Excellent guess! And at one point, Eastern did operate B720 service between HOU and MSY. However, this morning flight was operated with another aircraft type.
Hmm... Must be a DC-8 - assuming it's a jet, that is...
6. Also in 1981, Pan Am added nine new aircraft to its fleet: six of one type, two of a second type and one of a third type. Identify all three jetliners along with the number of each type placed into service.
Well the Tristar -500s certainly come to mind first, so we'll go with six of those. As to the others, are we talking brand new from the manufacturer - as in Boeing -x21s? If so, I'll hazard a guess that PA picked up a couple of 747-221s and perhaps a 727-221. Or maybe it's the other way around with two 727s as I'm not sure PA operated 747-221s... Either way, '81 was too early for the Airbuses.
7. In 1982, the airline stated this small city was "the newest Pan Am destination" in the U.S. Pan Am served this destination with a mainline jet aircraft type. Identify this destination along with the one and only nonstop route flown from it.
Wild guess: Key West, FL. from Miami with a 727-35
P.S. Fifty new questions ready to go...
