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:
- 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
- At the time in question (summer 1983), both Model #11 and the later-ubiquitous 757 were only in service with EA
- Airports 14 and 15 are the Florida airports
- Airports 16 and 17 are in the same state
- Airport 16 is a hub for Airline 9
- The navaid with the designator for Airport 8 is probably a waypoint on the flight to ATL
- 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
