I remember Ozark's Denver DC-9s well whilst perusing the OAG back in the day. I'll go with Waterloo, Iowa for the four daily nonstops and... Sioux City for the two.
BTW, yesterday marked the 50th anniversary of my first flight aboard a DC-10
You have the two cities correct, but you guessed wrong about the frequencies. SUX was served 4x day, and ALO was served 2x day.
The inspiration for these questions came when I was reading an article in a back issue of Classic Trains by the late David Ingles about a trip in the mid 1970s to Minnesota, the Dakotas, and Iowa. He said at the end of the trip, he flew home from SUX on an Ozark DC-9, and he thought a friend flew from SUX to DEN on a WA 737.
Of course, all of us know that WA served FSD but not SUX, so I looked in an old OAG to see how his friend might have gotten from SUX to DEN...and I was surprised to see OZ flew the route 4x day.
