6. (1992) You’ve had a wonderful vacation in Bermuda, but unfortunately getting home to Halifax will not be as easy as the trip down to Bermuda, during which you enjoyed a nonstop flight aboard an Air Canada 767. Air Canada’s service from BDA back to YHZ operates just one day per week, and it’s not the day you need to travel. In lieu of that, you’ve found a convenient connection involving two nonstop flights, each operated by different airlines and each operating aircraft built by different manufacturers, neither of which is located on the U.S. west coast. Can you identify the two airlines, the connection point and the two aircraft types involved?

8. (1992) The moondog Special: Back in the 1960s and 70s, Boeing 707s were commonly seen all around the Pacific Islands. By 1992, while a few can still be found around the Pacific Rim, I could find only two actual Pacific islands that still enjoy scheduled 707 service. Identify those two islands.

9. (1990) The jrl767 Special Following a fun summer as a fishing guide on Kachemak Bay outside Homer, Alaska, you’re ready to move on to your new job doing the same thing at a resort outside Loreto, Mexico. You’ve found a great way to get there from Anchorage, too. Your trip will involve three airlines, each operating a different variant of the same model of aircraft. Surprisingly, Alaska Airlines is not involved in this itinerary. Please identify the three airlines, the routing and the three aircraft and their variants.

12. (1992) You would have thought that flying from Zurich to Freetown, Sierra Leone would have involved a widebodied aircraft at some point in the journey, but surprisingly, the itinerary your company travel department has booked for you involves two nonstop flights aboard two airlines, each employing narrow bodied aircraft of the same model and variant. Identify both airlines, the two aircraft specific to variant and the route to be flown.

17. (1990) Even on the best of days, flying from Houston (either airport) to Freeport, Bahamas can be a trying experience. Today’s itinerary, while benefitting from good connecting times, still involves three nonstop flights – each of them operated by the same model and variant of aircraft. Can you figure out which aircraft type we’re talking about, the routing (including which Houston airport) and the three airlines involved?
