3. PDX to ORD on United 747-100
4. MDW to CLE on Midway DC9-10
another good start

** think about the underlined answers for a few seconds in terms of the context of this itinerary ... while a lot of us from SEA feel some kinship with folks from PDX, we're 175 miles apart and
definitely not part of the same metropolitan area; similarly, did Burke Lakefront Airport in Cleveland have scheduled service in 1983, and if so were there
two airlines flying to the same destination? **
so here's what we know
LEG 1 - HNL - OAK, WO D10
LEG 2 - SJC - XXX, OC (or XX) M80
LEG 3 - depart from airport slightly west of XXX, unknown arrival airport, unknown airline, 747-100
LEG 5 - unknown metro areas, two possible airlines each operating a different model of turboprop
LEG 6 - TATL flight, unknown metro areas, airline of the destination country or Fifth Freedom carrier, different variant of 747 (remember this is 1983)
