Identify the airline, both stops and the equipment.

Hmm... so it's not a 727 and it doesn't route via ATL. You know, you, like me, likes to fly First Class when available. The fact that it wasn't mentioned as part of this question leads me to believe that we might be looking at an airplane that doesn't offer First Class. Now so far as I know, all of Eastern's jet aircraft with the possible exception of the WAS-NYC-BOS shuttle operations were configured in a mixed 2 class configuration. I know Eastern operated Electras into the early 1970s, though mostly on shorter routes like intra-Florida flights. Still, I can't think of any other options unless it was a DC-9. Still, let's go with the Electra. As for the stop between ORD and BHM, .... , uh... , what the heck - let's try Louisville, KY.
