* Please also limit your response to three (3) guesses per day per quiz item. This will avoid a "shotgun" approach and I believe will also encourage others to participate. So, for example, if you cannot correctly guess the answer to a specific quiz item following three attempts in any given day, you can then try again the next day. Please also know I'm currently engaged in not only an aviation consulting project at the present time but also a major property improvement project as well. So this will help me concerning the current constraints on my time.

* Please provide complete and specific answers for each quiz item.

Thanks!

3. Time to attend the annual Polar Bear Festival in exotic Churchill located on the shores of Hudson Bay in Canada! It's 1964 and you are in New York City. You're surprised to find you will only need to make one connection in order to travel from NYC to Churchill with two different airlines being involved with your itinerary. Your first flight is nonstop and operates daily. Your second flight only operates one day per week and makes two stops en route. One of these stops is a very obscure location which no longer has air service. So you will not need to provide this stop with your answer....but you will need to name the other stop made by the second flight. Identify both airlines, the airport you will depart from in the New York City area, the airport where you will make your connection, one of the two stops made by the connecting flight and the different aircraft types operated by each air carrier, both of which had one thing in common. ANSWERED
