This service was not flown north of the 49th parallel. It was not flown in the U.S. or the Caribbean either...
Hmmmm....not flown in the U.S. or the Caribbean but somewhere south of the 49th parallel in North America....
So time for a wild guess.....perhaps this was Nordair operating between Montreal Dorval (YUL) and Val D'Or (YVO).
Interesting, but no - here's a big hint: This flight stayed entirely within one country, but was not in the U.S. or Canada. Hmm...
BTW, Lady K and I are now back home following a big Mardi Gras weekend in New Orleans. Aside from experiencing absolute traffic gridlock in the downtown area (and we walked as much as possible in the French Quarter as our hotel was nearby), it was a truly wonderful experience to include music, dancing, excellent cuisine with superb wine and, of course, the parades.
I wish I could say my weekend was as fun but alas - instead of spending it at the aviation fair in Amsterdam, I spent it holed up in a Super 8 outside O'Hare suffering from the flu. And that First Class seat on a British Airways 787-9 into Phoenix instead became an aisle seat in the third row from the back aboard a Southwest 737. Sigh... On a positive note, it's 70 degrees and beautiful in the Valley of The Sun with more of the same forecast throughout the week. Tomorrow you'll find me 14 rows up above 1st base as my A's take on the San Diego Padres in spring training ball.
