2. (1985) On Friday you are flying from Pasco, WA to Orange County, CA over a most distinctive routing. It involves four nonstop flights aboard four different airlines, each operating three jet models under 105’ in length. Two of the jets are foreign built, and two of the airlines are operating the same type of jet. Knowing which airlines flew small jets of the day into Pasco and Orange County is a start, and as for points in between, again, we're dealing with airlines that flew these smallest jets and by extension where they flew them. Can you piece together the route with the correct airlines and aircraft types for each flight?

5. (1982) You’ll be flying from Mexico City to Baltimore next week. You’ve found an interesting routing that manages to avoid any aircraft powered by Pratt & Whitney’s ubiquitous JT8D engines. In fact, no three engine aircraft will be involved. Rather, you’ll be flying upon two different airlines, each operating the same aircraft model. Given the parameters supplied, I’ve found only one routing that satisfies them. Please identify the airlines, the routing and the aircraft involved.

7. (1982) Only one airline offers scheduled flights via three daily nonstops with mainline jet equipment between Washington National (DCA) AND Washington Dulles (IAD). Any thoughts on which airline this is and the type of equipment it employs on all three flights?

9. (1982) In 1982 this state had three airports that as of May 1982 were served nothing larger than standard twin engine jets of the day. Just three years later, each airport was being served by much larger aircraft, configured to carry at least eighty more passengers. Identify these three airports and the larger aircraft type serving all three airports.

11. (1982) Only one airline can fly you all the way from Jacksonville, Florida to Manzanillo, Mexico. But not nonstop. The first flight will make one enroute stop to the connection point. The next flight will be nonstop to Manzanillo. The same aircraft type will be used on both flights. Please supply all the usual stuff intrinsic to a correct answer.

12. (1985) Imagine my surprise whist perusing the tattered pages of my well worn 1985 OAG for these questions to discover that the entire country of Canada is served by only a single BAC-111 flight per day. Mind you, I checked all the usual suspects – airlines, routes, cities, international points of entry – nope, just the one flight. Here’s a hint though. It originates in the U.S. Can you identify the airline and the route?

13. (1982) After two years of managing Acapulco’s prestigious Las Brisas Resort, you’ve been tabbed to be the new manager of the famous Banff Springs Hotel. You’ll be flying from Mexico City up to Calgary this weekend to meet your management team and inspect the hotel. Rather surprisingly, your trip up will require just two nonstop flights on two different airlines with First Class available on each. No 727s will be involved, but each flight you’re booked upon will be operated by the same aircraft type. Please provide the salient details.

14. (1985) As of mid-1985, there were five airlines operating scheduled flights within the U.S. utilizing all Economy Class configured widebody aircraft. Identify each of the airlines and the widebody type each operated in all-Y.

15. (1982) You need to fly from Evansville to Phoenix next week. Your normal go-to choice of Eastern via Atlanta is only available in First Class, which you can’t afford. Fortunately, another airline has coach seats available all the way through. It is the only other online option. Two nonstop flights, a single connection, two different aircraft types… Details, please

16. (1985) Erie to Yellowknife… it sounds like a line in some folk ballad… but tomorrow you’re actually gonna be flying it. Your trip will involve three nonstop flights on three airlines, each operating aircraft built by a different manufacturer. Additionally, each aircraft will have a different number of engines. So far as I’ve been able to figure, only one routing meets these parameters. Can you sort it all out? Routing, airlines and aircraft please…

17. (1982) You’ve enjoyed a wonderful week of sun and fun in Montego Bay, Jamaica but now it’s time to return home to your equally beautiful island home of Nova Scotia. There are of course no nonstops and the usual connection through Toronto is not available. In its stead, you’ve cobbled together an intriguing three flight itinerary involving three nonstops on three airlines with each aircraft getting progressively longer. Also, you’ll need to overnight at your second connection point. Alright then, you know the drill…

20. (1985) Well it’s not exactly a sporting matchup made for the ages, but the twelfth-ranked Women’s Softball team from the University of Evansville is traveling west to take on the ninth-ranked team from the University of Nebraska. As the crack sports reporter from the Evansville Enquirer, you’ve been tasked to fly along and cover the match. Where exactly is the University of Nebraska, anyway? Turns out you’ll need two nonstop flights to get there, aboard two different airlines each operating the same type of jet. Please supply further details…

21. (1982) Looking at the schedules between Miami and Los Angeles, nonstop widebodies predominate with First Class and Coach widely offered. However, one airline alone offers a single daily all Y-Class configured flight, making a single enroute stop. What could this mysterious all coach player be? And what kind of aircraft does it operate? Where does it stop?

22. (1985) Remember the Good Old Days of the 1970s when milk-runs – some of them seven or more stops were commonly flown throughout the United States. Who can forget that Northwest flight that made, like, ten stops between Miami and Portland! Or National 493 that made nine stops between New York and Houston. These days there are a few three or four stop routings, but the hub and spoke route maps favored by the industry have mostly eliminated the mega-milkruns. Still, there is one airline that operates a six-stop flight between Los Angeles and Tampa. Can you identify it, the six stops and the aircraft type?
