This flight does not operate on Sundays but no problem: your dinner meeting is on a Friday night. Identify the air carrier, the equipment and all five stops in order. The airline was Piedmont operating an FH-227B. Nashville was the first stop and Charlotte was served by this flight as well. Still looking for the other three airports and the correct order of the stops ...and now ANSWERED

24. It's a beautiful Friday afternoon in the spring of 1968 in Bombay. An urgent message is delivered: can you be in Dar es Salaam the next afternoon for a meeting? You quickly ascertain there is a flight departing from your location in India at 1:50 am that will get you to your destination in Africa at 11:30 am. Three intermediate stops will be made en route. You book a seat in first class. What airline and aircraft type will you be flying on? Also name the three stops in order. The airline in question was based in Africa and the equipment was a four engine jet aircraft ...and now ANSWERED
Last call for the above! Should there be no takers, I'll provide the answers before the Big Game in Houston this Sunday.
