One stop will be made en route and you'll be served a full hot breakfast. Name the air carrier, the stop and the aircraft.

I'm going to guess that a Fiesta flight with Western would probably be a bit too pedestrian to be considered as a question. Instead, let's go with Mexicana operating a Golden Aztec Comet 4 via Guadalajara.

7. A very special, high level VIP flight was operated into Page, Arizona in 1965 with a Hawker Siddeley HS-748 turboprop aircraft. Who was on board and who was the operator of the flight? Hint: this flight was not operated by an airline.

Edward Abbey & Hayduke Air Services. The 748 had been modified with a special bomb bay specifically designed to drop a quartet of 2000lb bombs on the Glen Canyon Dam.
