Imagine then your surprise and delight to discover that in 1983 it’s still possible to fly all the way from Philadelphia to Chicago aboard a turboprop from the 1950s. The flight doesn’t operate nonstop of course – two enroute stops are made – but hey, so much the better as you’ll have that much more time to enjoy the experience enroute. Identify the airline, the aircraft and the two enroute stops.
23 - the only turboprop operator I can recall from this time period across this part of the country was Freedom Airlines with Convair 580s ... how about stops at Allentown (ABE) and Cleveland (CLE)
