SHOULDN'T BE TOO HARD TO WRAP THIS UP NOW

All aircraft are twin-engine jets ... flights on Monday thru Thursday, and the first flight on Friday, are on jets of increasing size; flights thereafter are on aircraft of decreasing size

To recap relevant clues:
  1. Airports yet to appear (not necessarily in sequence): BOS, PHL, two in Florida (one is located farther south than TPA), two others separated by approx 70 miles, and two still unknow
  2. At the time in question (summer 1983), both Model #11 and the later-ubiquitous 757 were only in service with EA
  3. Airports 14 and 15 are the Florida airports
  4. Airports 16 and 17 are in the same state
  5. Airport 16 is a hub for Airline 9
  6. The navaid with the designator for Airport 8 is probably a waypoint on the flight to ATL
  7. Airports 10, 11, 12, and 13 are pretty much on a straight line that is just about perpendicular to the track from ORD to ATL
