Two of these air carriers operated different types of jet equipment while the third operated a turboprop aircraft. Identify all three airlines and the respective aircraft types they operated from PLS to MIA.

American Airlines with a 727-200, Turks & Caicos Airways with a 737-200, and Gray Line Airways with a Convair 580
