Western Airlines to Calgary (YYC), most likely operated with a Boeing 720B
Correct! Unfortunately I don't have access to schedules reflecting this service and to be honest only read about the new SLC-YYC service but it stands to reasonable reason that in 1968 WA would've used a First Class equipped 720B rather than an all-economy class configured 737.
2. In the early 1970s, this city’s NFL team won the Super Bowl. The charter flight returning the team from its Super Bowl victory had to be diverted from their home city’s main airport to its as yet unfinished new airport due to a runway incursion by fans hoping to greet the team upon its arrival. Identify the NFL team and which airport this charter flight landed at.
I suspect this was Kansas City ... Mid-Continent International (MCI) was replacing the old Kansas City Downtown (MKC) airport
...Correct! The Chiefs beat the Vikings in SB4 and the fans got a bit too excited. The Chiefs have yet to return to the big game...
