A good start, J! You've correctly identified 4 of the aircraft types. Let's see if you can finish up on the additional aircraft type plus those airlines.
working this from the top down:
  • DC8 -- Canadian Pacific, Aeronaves de Mexico
  • 990 -- APSA (Peruvian)
  • AR -- Caravelle
  • VC-10 -- British United
