The time line for the following four quiz items is 1989.....

22. You are in Nassau on a Saturday where you've just disembarked from a sailboat and are now your way to Salt Lake City for a business meeting. You're pleasantly surprised to find that one airline can get you from NAS to SLC although you will have to make a connection with just over two hours and 10 minutes on the ground at your connecting airport. Your first flight is nonstop and your second flight will make one stop en route with different aircraft types being operated on each flight. Identify the air carrier, the connecting airport, the stop made by the second flight and the different equipment operated on each flight. The airline was Pan Am and the connection was made at JFK. The equipment on the first flight wasn't a 747. The equipment on the second flight was a B727-200. The stop made by the second flight wasn't DTW or ORD. And a couple of hints can be found in post # 20384.

23. If you wanted to fly into Tucson (TUS) on board a Fokker F.27 at this time, what airline would you call and where would you depart from nonstop to TUS?

24. You are on your way from Moncton (YQM) to Toronto (YYZ) on board the first flight of the day which will make one stop en route. Name the air carrier, the stop and the aircraft.

25. If you wanted to fly into Beijing (PEK) on board a BAC One-Eleven, you could do so once a week. Identify the airline that operated this flight and the city it originated from. ANSWERED

26. In 1996, this air carrier was operating the only nonstop service from St. Louis (STL) to Flint (FNT) and was doing so with mainline jet equipment with two flights every weekday. Name the airline and the aircraft type. It wasn't TWA and the equipment wasn't a DC9-30. The air carrier in question was a new start up that operated a mainline aircraft type larger than a D9S.

27. It's still 1996 and you are on your way in first class from Anchorage (ANC) to Denver (DEN) on board a flight which operates six days a week and makes three stops en route. Identify the air carrier, all three stops in order and the equipment. ANSWERED

29. In 2002 this air carrier was operating a four engine jet on international services which was configured with three different classes of service, being first, business and economy. First class was configured with two seats on each side of the cabin (2-2 seating layout) while business class was configured with three seats on each side of the cabin (3-3 seating layout). Identify this jet and the airline that operated it.

30. What airline based in Latin America was still operating the BAC One-Eleven in 2002? ANSWERED
Moving along a bit slowly here but hopefully still moving......
