correct on all counts, except for the dates regarding LGB-SEA service: I flew that aboard an Alaska 727-100 in 1983, returning from a job interview with Northrop in Pico Rivera ... what I remember most about that trip was that I bought up to F for maybe $35, and the guy next to me put away an actual handful of Jack Daniel’s on the rocks (one before pushback, and four during the flight)

In 1991 I flew BUR-SFO on United in order to log my first ever flight aboard a 737-500. What the hey - let's stick with UA BUR-SFO and the 735 for segment 15, and Alaska for segment 16 SFO-SEA with a 727-200.
BUR as the origin is
correct
SFO as the connecting point is
partially correct (
i.e.,not on this trip)
UA is
partially correct
737-500 is
incorrect
Alaska 72S is
correct

UA is
partially correct
D8S is
partially correct

DAY-STL: 727-100 partially correct as noted
CVG-STL: DC-9-30 correct
STL-SEA: L-1011 correct
