  • Salem (SLE) - United 737, possibly Air West DC-9-10 United's 737 is Correct! As to your other submission, I need a definitive answer. I don't deal in "possibly"s. It either is or it isn't. Since I haven't specified this in the "terms of engagement" as it were, I shall do so henceforth so there is no confusion. For the record, RW did not serve Salem.
  • Lincoln (LNK) - United 737, Frontier 737 Correct! on both counts. However, one of these airlines operates another jet aircraft type into Lincoln.
I also believe Jefferson City was actually served through Columbia even though it has its own airport - COU probably saw Ozark DC-9-10/30

You are correct! I didn't catch this because both Columbia and Jefferson City have their own listings in the OAG I used to reference these questions. So, good call, J! Technically speaking, I'll have to relist Jefferson City as NOT being served given that Columbia is 22 miles away and an entirely different airport. I am presently investigating when (if ever) JEF may have received jet service. I flew through there on an Ozark DC-9-30 in 1980 and have it listed as JEF when in truth I may have flown through COU. I'll letcha'll know....
