In other words, you will find only one – not two – routes into the U.S. operated by say, a Dassault Mercure. And again, we are working only with schedules published in the North American OAG. So then, if you’re up for it, identify each of the five routes, airlines and aircraft types.
...
  1. Air France, Caravelle, Port Au Prince (PAP) to Miami (MIA) Correct! Air France AF 240 Port Au Prince (PAP) 1115a-120p L Miami (MIA) Caravelle Daily
  2. CSA Czech Airlines, IL-62, Montreal (YUL) - JFK Correct! CSA OK 598 Montreal (YUL) 210p-330p New York (JFK) IL62 Monday only
  3. BOAC, VC-10, Toronto (YYZ) - Detroit (DTW) Correct airline & aircraft ~ incorrect route
  4. Quebecair, BAC One-Eleven, Quebec (YQB) - Boston (BOS) Correct aircraft ~ incorrect airline and route
  5. Mexicana, Comet 4, Mexico City (MEX) - Los Angeles (LAX) Correct airline & aircraft ~ incorrect route
14- I’m refraining from providing additional possibilities, but there’s at least one for each of these
3- BA VC-10 Kingston (KIN) - JFK Correct airline & aircraft ~ incorrect route (but you're in the right neighborhood)
4- LANICA BAC 1-11, Managua (MGA) - MIA Correct aircraft ~ incorrect airline and route (The flight did come into Miami)
5- MX CM4 Guadalajara (GDL) - LAX Correct airline & aircraft ~ incorrect route (The flight came into the U.S. from Guadalajara)
