Off the top of my head, I can think of three airlines in 1973 that served Phoenix and Miami. Well... two for sure. The third may have gained rights to Miami the next year. Still, it's the one I always remember seeing - that being Continental operating a 720B. The two stops... there are a few options here, but let's go with ELP and SAT
14. An excellent guess, sir! However, the airline in question wasn't Continental ("The Proud Bird with the Golden Tail"), the two stops were not made in El Paso and San Antonio, and the equipment wasn't a Boeing 720B "Golden Fanjet".

Please guess again!
