This flight makes two intermediate stops en route. Identify the airport you'll be departing from, the airline, the two stops in the order in which they will be made and the equipment.

Wild guess here, because I'm thinking their service into this Connecticut airport might have been in the 60s and 70s, but let's go with Eastern Airlines operating a DC-9-30 routing New Haven-Washington DCA-Miami-Freeport.
7. A great guess! However, the originating airport was not New Haven, the airline was not Eastern and the equipment wasn't a DC-9-30. On the plus side, you have correctly guessed the two intermediate stops in order: DCA and MIA. Care to have another go, sir?
