It wasn't Pan Am. The aircraft operated by the airline in question were not business jets but were mainline jetliners in scheduled passenger service. Hint: this air carrier was not based in the U.S.
18. From Philadelphia you need to travel to Dayton. You've found a convenient early afternoon flight which operates daily with just one stop being made. Name the air carrier, the stop and the equipment. It wasn't USAir, Republic, TWA, Delta, Eastern, Midway, Allegheny or Ozark. The stop was made at CVG, the aircraft was a DC9-30 and the time line here is the late spring of 1979.
Time for a couple of answers here, so Johnny, please hand me the envelopes.....(
brief drum roll)
9. And the airline is:
CP Air
The ad in question appeared in a CP system timetable in 1970. Here's the link to that timetable. Simply scroll down to see the ad.....

18. The time line was indeed a clue here as North Central was still in operation at this time with the flight in question appearing in the last system timetable issued by NC. Here's the complete sched...
NC 423: Philadelphia (PHL) 1:10p - 2:42p Cincinnati (CVG) 3:05p - 3:30p Dayton (DAY) 3:51p - 3:45p Milwaukee (MKE)
Freq: Daily
Service class: S
Meal service: Snack PHL-CVG
Equip: DC9-30
Comment: Interesting to note this flight terminated at MKE and thus did not continue on to the NC hub at MSP
So with that, I'm going to take a break from the OTAQ&D. It was my intention to post a follow on set of new quiz questions; however, my lovely wife and yours truly are now preparing to depart on a road trip to New Orleans to celebrate our wedding anniversary. Thus, if anyone out there would like to post any quiz questions, this would be an excellent time to do so. All you've got to do is step up to the plate and let it rip! And if not, I shall do so when we return from our trip.
