12. (1975-87) I flew between HYA and BOS every other weekend until my parents deemed I was old enough to take the bus instead. These flights were on 2 different airlines onboard 7 different a/c types. Several of the a/c types were common between these airlines, but in the case of the HYA-BOS route at the time, we’re looking for a 2 + 5 split. Please identify the airlines and the airplanes.

I'll try these to start:
(1) Provincetown-Boston Airlines (PBA)
  • Cessna 402
  • YS-11

(2) Air New England
  • Beech 99
  • DHC-6 Twin Otter
  • DC-3
  • FH-227B
  • Convair 580
You've correctly identified both airlines, 5 of the 7 planes, and 4 of the 7 planes are in the correct airline buckets.

Seat2A I'm still working on a response to your response to the IFE question...a much more challenging prompt (at least for me) than I initially anticipated.
