Although DL was much smaller than EA at the missing city, DL did serve this city with L-1011s on a regular basis in the 1970s.
in addition to GSO, Eastern had rather substantial operations at both Raleigh/Durham (RDU) and Charlotte (CLT) in the mid 1970s (Dec 1976 route map)… absent both of those, I have no other ideas
