23. (1995) One of the benefits or working the late night shift at Anchorage International is a chance to see some of the 747s that still stop at ANC for refueling. Gone are those halcyon days when all of the European airlines stopped in ANC to refuel on their flights to the Orient. That all disappeared with the advent of longer range 747-400s combined with Russia opening its skies to flyover traffic. European passenger airliners no longer stopover in Anchorage, but three Asian airlines – each of which still utilize the older 747-200 model – come calling in the early morning hours. Each of these flights originate in New York. Identify the three airlines we’re looking for. By the way, you guys are all so good that I’m going to make this one a little more difficult. If one of the airlines you’ve submitted is incorrect, I won’t say which ones are right or wrong – just that one or more are incorrect. Good Luck!
Korean Airlines Correct!
Japan Airlines Incorrect
China Airlines Correct!
Did you used to work at ANC, Mr. C? You're off to a great start! Just switch out JAL for ______________ and Bob's Your Uncle!
I thought no clues as to which one(s) are wrong.
Anyway if it wasn't JAL it must have been All Nippon.
Have actually never even flow through ANC let alone set foot. Just 3 panhandle airports (+ 1 cruise ship stop on a TPAC at one of the airport's host "cities").
