The obvious choice would be Eastern Airlines but me thinks that's too obvious. Let's go with Flamingo Airlines which also operated Electras around the Bahamas.
22. Correct, mon! In 1973, Flamingo Air Lines (FQ) was operating "Super Lockheed Electra Jet-Prop" service on interisland routes in the Bahamas between Nassau (NAS) and The Bight (BIF), Deadman's Cay (LGI), Freeport (FPO), George Town (GGT), Inagua (INA), San Salvador (ZSA) and Stella Maris (SML). Flamingo was also flying one international route at this time with the Electra between Nassau and Port-au-Prince (PAP). With the exception of the Nassau-Freeport service, none of these flights were operated on a daily basis and most of the above destinations in the Bahamas only saw the Electra several times a week.
