either American or United might have gone to Chicago O'Hare (ORD) as the logical first stop, but I sure don't remember them having any ORD-XXX-DCA flights since the days of the Electra or Caravelle respectively; DCA-JFK also draws a blank for both of them at this point in time

Eastern over Atlanta (ATL), continuing via a point in one or the other of the Carolinas, also seems a relic of their Electra schedules, as does DCA-JFK

given that I flew Pan Am on that segment a couple times in the 82-83 timeframe, I'm scratching my head for another option, so herewith my official guess that the first two stops were a legacy National operation -- Houston (IAH) and Tampa (TPA)

39. Pan Am is correct! And you are almost there.....all you have to do now is correctly identify the second stop made by the flight in question as it wasn't Tampa.
