Here's my guess for the routing: New York Kennedy - Washington National - Norfolk - Charleston, SC - Jacksonville - Tallahassee - Panama City - Pensacola - Mobile - New Orleans.

There were only two airlines serving Panama City (PFN) back at this time. The other air carrier was Southern operating DC-9s. Our family vacationed a number of times in the Panama City area back then and the beaches in this region weren't very developed at the time and thus much quieter.
You are 100% accurate on the routing, but the equipment is a 727-35. It leaves JFK at 0920, arrives MSY 1802, and finally gets to SJC at 2316.
