Identify the airline, the stop and the equipment.
The aircraft was a twin engine jet and this air carrier was not based in the U.S.
The only other airline that makes sense to me would be Cayman Airways running one of its newly acquired BAC-111s via Grand Cayman. I never knew them to offer through flights between Miami and Jamaica but geographically it makes sense.
19. Now it's 1982 and you are in Peoria. You need to travel to to Los Angeles and are amazed to find a direct flight from PIA to LAX which operates daily and makes three stops en route. Identify the airline, all three stops in order and the aircraft type.
It was Continental operating a B727-200 with a routing of PIA - OMA - DEN - ___ - LAX. Still looking for the third stop which wasn't ONT, SNA, PSP or LAS.
There ain't a lot else out there... How about Burbank
12. Cayman Airways is
