Perfect. Identify the airline, the aircraft and the enroute stop.

I think I’ll migrate my q3 answer up a step: RC D9S via DTW

Alas, it is not Republic. In one regard, you were closer with your previous answer....

3. (1985) With your business in White Plains completed, it’s time to return home to Jackson, Mississippi. What’s that they say about when you die and go to heaven, you’ll probably connect in Atlanta? Hartsfield sometimes feels like a second home, and not always a happy home at that. Imagine then your surprise and delight to discover a three stop direct flight from White Plains straight through to Jackson. First Class is available and dinner will be served along the way. Name the airline, the aircraft and the three stops in order please.

The fact that MEM is on the routing makes me think this was United, who would have been running a 737-200 down from Chicago/ORD; a stop between HPN and ORD would almost certainly have been along I-90 in upstate New York (Cleveland/CLE would mean three sub-500-mile legs, each likely too short for dinner service) ... I’ll start the guessing with Albany/ALB as the longest option

You're on the right track here, J - United with its 737-200 routing through Chicago and Memphis is correct. However, the stop between HPN and ORD was not on the I-90 corridor. Come south a bit. It was a short first flight.
