So according to the timetable, all service between Calgary and Edmonton was being flown with DC-6 aircraft (although I would not be surprised to see a DC-6B in the mix as well).

4. It's the summer of 1967 and you are in Fort Worth. You need to travel to Orlando for a meeting. You ascertain there is a direct flight departing from the closest airport to your location which makes three intermediate stops en route. Better yet, a first class seat is available. Identify the airport you'll be departing from along with the airline, the aircraft type and the three intermediate stops in order.

And you won't believe the great deal I just made on a practically new 50 foot monohull!" And so, you begin to research flights. There's a departure from JFK at the civilized time of 11:35 am the next morning which will get you into HNL at 9:12 pm. So you book a pair of first class seats, one for you and one for your lady friend. The flight you'll be traveling on makes three intermediate stops en route. Identify the airline, the equipment and all three stops in the order in which they will be made. And for bonus points, what was the name this airline used to market its flights to Hawaii? ANSWERED

9. It's 1967 and you are back in New York City working on yet another project. Your location is very close to LaGuardia Airport. You need to attend a meeting in Los Angeles so you book a flight departing from LGA at 2:00 pm which arrives at LAX at 7:45 pm. This flight makes three intermediate stops en route. Identify the airline, the aircraft and the three stops in order.

10. In 1968, only one air carrier was operating Boeing 727-100 service nonstop between Los Angeles (LAX) and Salt Lake City (SLC). Name the airline. ANSWERED

United didn't used schedule times down to the minute on the route, only the normal 5-minute increments. Northwest did, though, so I'll go for them, with a Boeing 707. Three stops ? Let's say Chicago, Minneapolis and Seattle.

However, I went back and took a look at this and there were actually only seven (7) intermediate stops between DEN and MKC.

Here's how you did concerning the routing:

Denver (DEN)
1) ______________
2) Pueblo (PUB)
3) ______________
4) ______________
5) ______________
6) ______________
7) ______________
Kansas City (MKC)
