Please provide all the relevant information.

A PA 747 not touching MIA and by 1987 the Pacific division was gone to UA. Perhaps this itinerary went west as opposed to east. Thinking something like:

LH SEL-FRA D10
PA FRA-JFK 747
Faucett JFK-GYE L15 (kind of grasping at straws here but maybe a Peruvian carrier would stop in Ecuador on the way to Lima?)


No....... the itinerary definitely went east. The L-1011 was the standard model (Did Faucett ever actually operate the -500? Also, I may be wrong, but I don't recall them ever serving New York

Here's a couple of hints though...

No South American airlines are involved in this itinerary

The first flight was operated with a DC-10
