I would be confident in guessing the other two Bay Area airports -- San Jose (SJC) and Oakland (OAK) -- are among the seven D9S destinations, and will speculate that the others were Phoenix (PHX) and Las Vegas (LAS)
57. Pacific Southwest Airlines operating the DC-9-30 into LAX is correct! Now let's take a look at your airport list....

LAS - Yep!
OAK - Yep!
PHX - Nope
SMF - Nope
SAN - Yep!
SFO - Yep!
SJC - Yep!
