18- this sounds suspiciously like the Braniff portion of the longstanding Denver-to-Atlanta interchange ... the Electra would have stopped at Oklahoma City (OKC), Tulsa (TUL), Fort Smith (FSM), and Little Rock (LIT) before continuing on to Atlanta on the EA-operated segment

that said, though, I'll be surprised if this is the right answer, as I doubt the arrangement was still extant in 1968

Wide body cabins were a new experience to me and they were wide open with very few travelers for the first few months. And the Continental DC-10 lounges were pure joy. I think National was acquired by Pan Am and then capuk. I was fortunate enough to fly on National on their route from LHR to MIA and most destinations out of IAH before their demise. Anyone else remember the Orange Juice specials lol?

18- this one is a tap-in ... BAC 1-11

"2000" BMW (mid 60s / early 70s) and Saab

DAY has been eliminated already, so the next city to the east is Columbus (CMH) ... that would certainly be viable for a flight into Washington National (DCA) (having taken TW jets in one or the other direction on that route half a dozen or so times in the 1984-1995 timeframe); as we're talking about an evening operation, though, DCA's jet curfew might have dictated running this trip into BAL ... so for now I'll stick with the state capital, figuring it's a simple tap-in if I'm wrong

1. It's 1956 and you are in Pittsburgh (PIT). You need to travel to Miami (MIA) and have found a direct flight that makes two stops. This service is also an interchange flight operated jointly by two different air carriers. The flight operated by the first airline from PIT operates nonstop to the interchange point while the continuing flight operated by the second airline makes one intermediate stop before arriving into MIA. Identify both air carriers, the airport which is the interchange point, the intermediate stop before MIA and the equipment.

2. What year did Continental Airlines begin operating its Vickers Viscount 812 aircraft and how many of this type was CO operating by the following year?

A two part question.....

3A. What U.S. air carrier was the first to order the Lockheed L-188 Electra and how many did they initially order? ANSWERED

3B. The air carrier in question above operated its new Electra aircraft in two class configuration. How many seats were there in first class and how many seats were there in coach on these airplanes?

4. In 1958, this airline was operating a daily round trip service it called "The Southernaire" from the New York City area. This flight operated nonstop to a city in the southern U.S. and then continued on to another southern U.S. city where the aircraft then remained overnight (RON). The service then departed northbound the next morning on a reverse routing back to New York. Identify the air carrier, the airport served by this flight in the New York area, the two cities it served in the south and the aircraft type. ANSWERED

7. Name the airline that ran this print ad in 1959:

SOON.......___(air carrier)___ JET POWER ELECTRA. Electra flight is the ultimate in travel comfort! You'll enjoy the utmost in relaxing quiet, panoramic views, and complete freedom from vibration. Cruising at almost 7 miles a minute, ___(air carrier's)___ELECTRA takes you farther faster....and gets you there "flight fresh".

20. Now it's 1969 and you are in Long Beach where you have not only visited a classic ocean liner that is permanently docked but also a very large seaplane on static display. You receive a message from friends who are in the Lake Tahoe area on a skiing trip: "Come on up! Conditions are excellent!" Well, why not....and you find there's a direct flight from Long Beach (LGB) to Lake Tahoe (TVL) which makes three stops en route but only operates once a week arriving into TVL just before lunch time which fits your schedule perfectly. And most fortunately, the day you need to travel is the day this flight operates. Name the airline, all three stops and the equipment. ANSWERED

23. It's 1970 and you are back in New Orleans. Now you are heading down to Panama and have found a flight which operates twice a week and makes three stops en route. Identify the air carrier, all three stops and the aircraft. Pan Am with a 727. The first stop was Merida and the third stop was Managua. Still looking for the second stop which wasn't Guatemala City.

25. You are in Sydney and it's 1972. You are booked in first class on a flight to London which will make six stops en route and also has an interesting flight number change from flight 785 to flight 785A at one of the stops. This particular flight operates this specific routing only once a week on Fridays. Identify the air carrier, all six stops in order and the aircraft. ANSWERED
