4B- JFK incorrect, LHR incorrect, KWI incorrect, KU incorrect, 747 correct (the OAG doesn’t differentiate between the 747-100 and -200, but I don’t think the airline in question operated the -200); moreover, I would have stated that a change of airports was required between 4A and 4B
4C- ME partially correct (still need to identify the codeshare airline), 707 correct
PE did operate BMH-EWR but maybe not in 1983.

This is going to be a hard question. Birmingham didn't have far flung flights.

4A - BMH-ORD, United, Boeing 737-200
4B - ORD-SNN-DUB, Aer Lingus, Boeing 747
4C - DUB-BEY, MEA, Boeing 707

Frankly, I am skeptical that there was a Dublin Beirut route.
