4. Now it's 1967 and time for another milk run. You are in Birmingham, AL (BHM) getting ready to head for Denver and a vacation in the Colorado Rockies. Ah, here's a daily flight offering first class which makes five stops en route. What airline will you check in with at BHM, what are the five stops in order and what type of aircraft will you be flying on? ...
4- the part of the question that I highlighted leads me to think we’re looking for an interchange operation ... Eastern and Delta would be the logical choices out of BHM, but I don’t recall DL participating in any interchanges save for their Pan Am flights (MSY-ATL-IAD-LHR) that we have discussed on numerous occasions
commonality of equipment leads me to believe this flight featured a Lockheed Electra operated by EA and Braniff; reflecting on those two carriers’ route maps suggests the interchange point was Memphis (MEM) ... I’ll posit that the EA section first put down in Nashville (BNA), and the BN continuation stopped in Little Rock (LIT), Oklahoma City (OKC), and Amarillo (AMA)

5- this would have also been Eastern; probably also an Electra ... I’m totally speculating on the stops, but I’ll start the guessing with Louisville (SDF) and Washington National (DCA)
