I had listed the answer as a UA DC-8-71

The correct answer should have been:

Hawaiian Air D8S

No big deal, Seat 2A. This has obviously happened to yours truly in the past as well (it's that gosh darn small print in the OAG)......

BTW, curious if my memory was correct and United indeed operated Super DC-8-71 service into ANC and FAI back in the day......
