After driving from Anchorage down the Alaska Highway to Eugene, Oregon to deliver your old Ford Bronco to your son who’s a student athlete at the U of O, you watched with pride as his Oregon Ducks beat the Washington Huskies in a last second buzzer beater in NCAA Division 1 Basketball. For your return flight home to Anchorage, you’ve found a great low far with an airline other than Alaska. You’ll fly nonstop from Eugene to the connecting city, and then board a one stop flight to Anchorage. Identify the airline, the aircraft and the routing including the intermediate stop between the connecting city and Anchorage.
Morris Air Service (KN), Boeing 737-300, Eugene-Portland (EUG-PDX) connecting to Portland-Seattle-Anchorage (PDX-SEA-ANC)
Did you just know this off the top of your head? Pretty good. Here's the schedule:
Morris Air KN 123 Eugene (EUG) 350p-430p Portland (PDX) 737-300 Daily
Answer: Guessed it off the top of my head. Thought process....Who flew Eugene to somewhere (maybe PDX or SEA) then flew a one stop (must be SEA, YVR, or JNU) to ANC but is not Alaska.
18. Hawker Siddeley HS748

Must have been about this time, 1986-ish that I would visit a business office on the main road along the north side of Heathrow, and then a rather dreary pub next door, and as we left more than once the nonstop Singapore Airlines 747-300 would throttle up and go (2130 departure ?), decidedly noisily, if departures were on the northern runway. I would describe where it was going to the others.

I thought it was SIN-DXB-LHR-SIN with the DXB mainly for fuel or the person who was flying one way DXB-SIN or returning by BA.
After my Gulf Air guess, Singapore Airlines was going to be my 2nd guess. I guessed that they flew almost daily but not daily.
