We already know that Boston was the easternmost destination ever served by North Central as later in the summer of 1979 the airline acquired and merged with Southern thus becoming Republic....and this development eventually marked the end of an era specifically with regard to Herman the Duck when RC finally got around to unveiling a completely new livery some years later....

So here we go with a classic milk run....

2. Boston - Detroit - Lansing - Grand Rapids - Green Bay - Escanaba - Marquette. Although not requested in this quiz item, I'll also guess the equipment was a DC-9-30.

BTW, back during the fall of 1971, I did some hitch hiking all around Michigan including up in the UP all the way to Sault Ste. Marie and beyond into Canada. One of the things I noticed was the fact that North Central was all over the place in Michigan - I think NC served just about every city both large and small in the state.
