Two airlines and a connection will be involved and you'll be in first class on both flights. Your first flight will make two stops en route to your connecting city where you'll have just under one and one-half hours to connect. Your second flight will be nonstop. Identify both air carriers, the two stops made by the first flight, the connecting city and the two respective aircraft types operated. Hint: the first flight was operated with wide body equipment and the second flight was operated with narrow body equipment.
17- in 1979 virtually all narrow-body service to ANC came through Seattle/SEA, and that market saw a number of operators; the more significant bit, though, is the two-stop widebody flight ... 9pm into ANC and a 90-min connection time combine to suggest that the jet arrived at SEA ~6pm, which tells me that the last leg probably wasn’t a long transcon ... let’s try a National Airlines “Sun King” DC-10 from Los Angeles/LAX, with the first stop being Miami/MIA, connecting to a Northwest 727-251

18- taking a hint from additional info that
jlemon provided along with his answer to an earlier question in this set (pertaining to a Southern Airways DC9 operating New York LaGuardia/LGA to Washington Dulles/IAD, namely that the flight continued to Atlanta/ATL, Huntsville/HSV, and Memphis/MEM), I’ll offer that this question is set later in the year, after SO had been absorbed into Republic, and we’re again looking at a DC9 ... this one in RC livery, operating a route something like MKE-MEM-Mobile/MOB-Pensacola/PNS-ATL-IAD-LGA
