BONUS QUESTIONS (all of which have been discussed several times in the earlier days of this thread):
4D: for a number of years prior to 1983 the TPA-IAD-LHR flight originated at another U.S. city ... what was this city?
4E: in this interchange flight's earliest days, that other city had actually been an intermediate stop as well ... what was the initial point of origin?
4F: what was the equipment on this two-stop flight?
I'll try these....

4B: I believe the code-share airline was Delta.

4D: I'll guess New Orleans (MSY).

4E: I think we are looking for another U.S. city here. If so, let's try Houston Hobby (HOU) as the initial point of origin (although this is probably incorrect as there was a BN/PA interchange service back then between Houston and London).

4F: Let's go with a DC8.
