I seem to recall noticing this one at some time in the past, and that the carrier was, of all companies, SAS, with (even more extraordinarily since they never did a proper order for them) a Convair 990 Coronado leased long-term from Swissair and painted up in SAS colours.
Most European carriers from Santiago stopped at Buenos Aires, Montevideo, Sao Paolo and Rio. I think SAS would also then stop at Lisbon, Zurich (for the Swissair Coronado technicians to have a quick look), Prague, and finally Copenhagen. I need another stop. Rio to Lisbon is a bit of a haul, lets go for Dakar.

8. It's the spring of 1974 and you are in Hartford where you've just completed a project. Now it's time to have some fun....so head west, young man, in first class! You won quite a bit of money playing poker last time you were in Las Vegas so you decide to try your luck again. There are no nonstop flights at this time from BDL to LAS. However, a one stop service catches your eye and you book a seat in the front cabin. You'll depart at 8:00am and arrive at 12 noon with breakfast and lunch being served en route. Name the airline, the equipment and the en route stop.
-PIT is my backup guess for the en route stop

2. It's the summer of 1965 and you are back in the U.S. engaged in project work in Birmingham, Alabama. You need to attend a meeting in Mobile down by the Gulf of Mexico. Now, you could drive the relatively short distance, of course....but why drive when you can fly? You find there are two airlines operating service from BHM to MOB. Airline #1 operates four flights a day with three nonstops plus a onestop with the same aircraft type being utilized on all flights. Airline #2 operates one daily flight. Name both air carriers as well as the respective equipment they operated on the route.
Still looking for the other airline and aircraft type.
Let's go with Southern flying a Martin 404
3. Now it's the summer of 1965 and you are in Seattle. You need to travel to Prince Rupert, B.C. for a lunch meeting; however, you already know there is no nonstop or direct service from SEA to YPR. So you'll have to fly on two different airlines and most likely connect in Vancouver. But how to get from Seattle to Prince Rupert in the most expedient manner? You discover there is a flight from SEA departing at 5:30am to YVR that will enable a quick (and legal) connection to your second flight from YVR to YPR which will make one intermediate stop en route before arriving in Prince Rupert at 10:40am. You also note you'll be served a snack between SEA and YPR as well as breakfast between YVR and YPR. So with all this in mind, identify both of the air carriers, the respective aircraft types and the intermediate stop between Vancouver and Prince Rupert.
SEA-YVR: United DC-6
YVR-YPR via Prince George (YPG?): Pacific Western Convair 600

You know, I really want to say United with a DC-8 via ORD but that just seems too obvious. Let's go with TWA flying a Convair 880 via STL.

10. In the summer of 1979 this air carrier was operating a morning flight six days a week from Montreal to Winnipeg with four stops being made en route. The flight departed YUL at 7:05am and arrived in YWG at 12:20pm. Name the airline, the equipment and all four intermediate stops in order.
3. I'll guess a Pacific Western Convair 340 to YVR, connecting to a Canadian Pacific DC-6B flying YVR-Prince George-Prince Rupert.
10. Air Canada seems too obvious, so I'll guess a Nordair 737 via Hamilton, Sudbury, Thunder Bay, and Dryden.

8. The airline was not TWA and the equipment was not a 727. Here's a hint: It was a larger aircraft type. And the flight did not stop in STL or PIT. Please guess again!

3. United is correct.....but not with a DC-6B.
And Pacific Western is incorrect, the aircraft was not a Convair 600 and the stop was not made in Prince George.
8. The airline was not TWA and the equipment was not a Convair 880.

3. The airline operating from SEA to YVR was not Pacific Western and the aircraft was not a Convair 340. Seat 2A has correctly guessed United; however, we are still looking for the aircraft type.
Canadian Pacific operating a DC-6B is correct but the stop was not made in Prince George.
10. Nordair operating a B737-200 is correct. However, two of your stops are incorrect.
Please guess again!

11. In the fall of 1979, this commuter air carrier had big plans. It was already running a small hub operation at an airport not too far from Chicago flying Grumman Gulfstream I propjets with nonstop service to seven destinations. The next step? Introduce nonstop DC9-10 service from its hub to New York City. However, before it could initiate new DC9 service, the carrier lost its operating certificate. Identify the airline and the location of its hub.

Good morning miniliq! Hope all is well with you and the family over there in the New Orleans area. And get ready for a very warm day: it was already 79 F at LFT at 8:00am this morning with not a cloud in the sky. We'll be quite lucky to receive a cooling thundershower this afternoon as an upper air disturbance slides our way from Texas.
And, no, the air carrier in question was not Air Illinois operating from Carbondale. Of course, you will recall that UX did operate BAC One-Eleven service at one point....

Well, we've already mentioned the weather on this beautiful Sunday morning so let's get back to the OTAQ&D with some additional new quiz items....
The 1980's Continued......
16. In late 1984 America West was operating Boeing 737-200 service into four destinations in Colorado. Name all four. ANSWERED - COS, DRO, GJT and MTJ
17. It's early 1985 and you are in New York City. You need to travel to Indianapolis for a meeting and have discovered that one airline can get you there in first class on board a wide body aircraft. This flight makes one intermediate stop between NYC and IND. Identify the airline, the equipment, the stop and the airport you will be departing from in New York. ANSWERED
18. Your meeting in Indianapolis has been successful so now it's time to have some fun. Your old sailing buddy from Santa Barbara has called but he's not on his sailboat: he's in Lake Tahoe on a ski trip with several lovely ladies. "Come on out!" he says and you are in. Of course, there's no direct service from Indianapolis to Lake Tahoe so you'll have to connect from one airline to another in California. You book a first class seat on a flight departing IND at 8:00am that will land you in the Golden State at 10:55am with one intermediate stop being made en route. You'll then have one hour and 35 minutes to make your connection and will arrive at TVL on a nonstop flight at 1:33pm which will be plenty of time to hit the ski slopes before sunset in the Sierra Nevada range. Identify both airlines, the respective aircraft types, the intermediate stop following departure from IND and the connecting airport in California. TWA operating an L10 IND-STL-LAX and AirCal operating a ________ LAX-TVL
19. In early 1985 there was only one airline operating nonstop jet service from San Diego (SAN) to Palm Springs (PSP). Name the air carrier and the equipment.
20. In the fall of 1985, this air carrier was operating nonstop wide body service between Caracas (CCS) and Port of Spain (POS) six days a week. Identify the airline and the aircraft. ANSWERED
Coming Up.....additional quiz items from the 1980's and 1990's......

Air Illinois also operated a pair of HS-748s; I flew on N748LLfrom Chicago Meigs Field (CGX) to MDH via Springfield (CAP) and Centralia (ENL) in June 1977 (this aircraft was lost in the Oct 1983 accident near MDH that was quickly followed by UX's bankruptcy filing)

And I believe Air Illinois operated Handley Page Jetstream aircraft as well which I think they inherited from South Central Air Transport (SCAT) which in turn operated the type into New Orleans (MSY) on several routes replacing former service operated by Southern Martin 4-0-4 aircraft.

16. In late 1984 America West was operating Boeing 737-200 service into four destinations in Colorado. Name all four.
I believe we're looking for Denver, Colorado Springs, Durango and Grand Junction.
17. It's early 1985 and you are in New York City. You need to travel to Indianapolis for a meeting and have discovered that one airline can get you there in first class on board a wide body aircraft. This flight makes one intermediate stop between NYC and IND. Identify the airline, the equipment, the stop and the airport you will be departing from in New York.
A widebody into Indianapolis sounds like TWA, with an L1011. As for the departure airport, let's go with JFK, routing via PHL.
3. Now it's the summer of 1965 and you are in Seattle. You need to travel to Prince Rupert, B.C. for a lunch meeting; however, you already know there is no nonstop or direct service from SEA to YPR. So you'll have to fly on two different airlines and most likely connect in Vancouver. But how to get from Seattle to Prince Rupert in the most expedient manner?

You also note you'll be served a snack between SEA and YPR as well as breakfast between YVR and YPR. So with all this in mind, identify both of the air carriers, the respective aircraft types and the intermediate stop between Vancouver and Prince Rupert.
Okay, so we know it's United up to YVR, but not a DC-6. Let's go with a Boeing 720.
We also know it's Canadian Pacific operating a DC-6 up to Prince Rupert. Having driven through here many times, a couple of closer towns come to mind. Let's start with Terrace.

You discover there is a flight from SEA departing at 5:30am to YVR that will enable a quick (and legal) connection to your second flight from YVR to YPR which will make one intermediate stop en route before arriving in Prince Rupert at 10:40am. You also note you'll be served a snack between SEA and YPR as well as breakfast between YVR and YPR. So with all this in mind, identify both of the air carriers, the respective aircraft types and the intermediate stop between Vancouver and Prince Rupert.
Okay, so we know it's United up to YVR, but not a DC-6. Let's go with a Boeing 720.
We also know it's Canadian Pacific operating a DC-6 up to Prince Rupert. Having driven through here many times, a couple of closer towns come to mind. Let's start with Terrace.

18. Your meeting in Indianapolis has been successful so now it's time to have some fun. Your old sailing buddy from Santa Barbara has called but he's not on his sailboat: he's in Lake Tahoe on a ski trip with several lovely ladies. "Come on out!" he says and you are in. Of course, there's no direct service from Indianapolis to Lake Tahoe so you'll have to connect from one airline to another in California. You book a first class seat on a flight departing IND at 8:00am that will land you in the Golden State at 10:55am with one intermediate stop being made en route. You'll then have one hour and 35 minutes to make your connection and will arrive at TVL on a nonstop flight at 1:33pm which will be plenty of time to hit the ski slopes before sunset in the Sierra Nevada range. Identify both airlines, the respective aircraft types, the intermediate stop following departure from IND and the connecting airport in California.

17. It's early 1985 and you are in New York City. You need to travel to Indianapolis for a meeting and have discovered that one airline can get you there in first class on board a wide body aircraft. This flight makes one intermediate stop between NYC and IND. Identify the airline, the equipment, the stop and the airport you will be departing from in New York.
