Identify each airline, the DC-8 variant it served YYZ with and where each flight came into Toronto from.
17- I have to believe that the -50 was Aeromexico, probably a less-than-daily service from Acapulco/ACA; both Air Canada and CP Air had retired their Stretch 8s a couple years ago, as had Air Jamaica, so maybe this example at YYZ was a United turn from Chicago/ORD

Identify the usual triumvirate – airline, enroute stop and equipment please.
27- a few years earlier I would have said this was a good candidate for a Presidential Airways BAe 146 operating via Washington Dulles/IAD; it wouldn't surprise me if United kept operating the route, although more likely with a 737-300

Disembarking from your catamaran in Antigua, your next stop will be Bermuda where you’ll spend a couple of days in Hamilton before continuing on to New York. Your trip from Antigua to Bermuda will involve two flights. From Antigua you will fly nonstop to your connecting point where you’ll spend two nights before boarding your next flight nonstop to Bermuda. Additionally, your final flight from Bermuda to New York will also be nonstop. Three different airlines will be involved but each airline will be operating the same type of equipment on each flight. So there you have it. Identify all three airlines, the connecting point between ANU and BDA and the equipment type common to all three flights.
Lufthansa LH 514 Antigua (ANU) 225p-330p San Juan (SJU) DC-10 Monday
British Airways BA 232 San Juan (SJU) 715p-1035p Bermuda (BDA) DC-10 Wednesday
American AA 415 Bermuda (BDA) 120p-230p L New York (JFK) DC-10 Daily

LH was doubtless a Series 30 aircraft; BA's ex-Laker fleet, and I think most if not all of AA's, were the Series 10 ... granted, with the exception of the centerline main gear, they were indistinguishable, and they had the same "D10" code in the OAG, but still ...
