With this question, we’re looking to identify those four airports. Are you up for it?
MSP and DTW have been correctly identified. The other two airports do not include BOS, LAX, MKE or PHX
TPA and MIA
Miami yes, Tampa no. Three down, one to go!
Bonus Question 42B: A total of twelve 747 flights into Miami were offered per the 1973 North American OAG employed to reference this question. Aside from Delta's seven flights, can you identify the airlines and origin airports of the other five flights?
(Hint:Less than 5 airlines and airports are involved)
NA to JFK and LAX, UA to PIT and CLE, and NW to ORD.
National is correct! NA operated two daily flights to JFK and one to LAX
Northwest is correct! NW operated a single daily flight to ORD
United is incorrect. UA operated no 747s into MIA in early 1973
So, four flights down and again, just one airline and destination to go!
