25. Correct! Here's the complete westbound sched....

NA 5: Frankfurt (FRA) 10:05a - 12:05p Amsterdam (AMS) 12:50p - 4:10p Tampa (TPA)
Freq: Mondays and Wednesdays only
Service classes: F/Y
Meal service: Lunch
Equip: DC-10

National was also operating daily nonstop DC-10 service between AMS and JFK at this time.
