55. Long shot here, but I think this may be Varig, operating to/from Rio and Sao Paolo.

Continuing on with the 1990's......

These two quiz items both have a time line of the fall of 1993.....

36. There was only one airline operating Boeing 747-400 service nonstop from Brussels (BRU) to London Heathrow (LHR) at this time. The flight only operated once a week. Name the airline that operated this service.

39. You are in Caracas and need to travel to Seattle. Ah, what's this? A direct one stop flight and first class is available! You will depart CCS at 10:00 am and arrive into SEA at 7:01 pm. Name the airline, the stop and the equipment.

The next six quiz items have a time line of the fall of 1994.....

40. It's a lovely evening in Bakersfield where you've just arrived following an excellent backpacking hiking trip in the southern Sierra Nevada mountains of California. It's also time to get back to business and that means flying to Montreal for a meeting. You've been thinking that you'll need to catch a Beechcraft 1900C, British Aerospace BAe Jetstream 31 or Swearingen Metro III commuter propjet from BFL down to LAX and make a connection when you are totally amazed to discover there is direct two stop service departing from Bakersfield in the morning to Montreal! Book em, Dano! Identify the air carrier, the two stops and the aircraft type. Airline was American and the second stop was ORD. The first stop wasn't DFW, SBA, ONT, PSP, LAS, SJC, LAX , SFO or SAN. The equipment was a B757-200. And now ANSWERED....

41. Now you are in San Francisco and need to travel to Port of Spain on business. To your great surprise, you find there is a direct flight from SFO to POS that operates daily. Four stops are made en route by this service which departs San Francisco at 6:10 am and arrives into Port of Spain at 11:57 pm. Breakfast, lunch and dinner are served on this flight. Identify the airline, all four stops in order and the aircraft.

43. You need to travel from New Orleans (MSY) to Aguadilla (BQN) in Puerto Rico in order to inspect a sailboat that's for sale. Ah, here's a direct one stop flight! What airline will you be flying on, where will you stop and what is the equipment?

44. This airline was operating direct one stop service from San Juan (SJU) to Guatemala City (GUA) at this time. First class and coach were offered on this daily flight. Identify the air carrier, the stop and the aircraft type.

45. If you wanted to fly out of Fort Nelson, B.C. (YYE) on board a jet at this time, what airline would you call and what type of equipment would you be flying on?

46. You are in New York City and need to travel to Vancouver, B.C. for a meeting. At this time, there is no nonstop service from any airport in the NYC area to YVR. However, one airline (and only one) does operate one direct flight a day to Vancouver which makes two stops en route. Name the airport you will depart from in the NYC area, the airline, the two stops and the aircraft. ANSWERED

48. Now it's the summer of 1996 and you are in Victoria, B.C. You've been planning to join friends who are currently driving from Austin, Texas to Fairbanks, Alaska and have been informed they will arrive in Edmonton in the afternoon and then spend the night. So that's where you are headed. You'll depart YYJ at 10:15 am and arrive into YEG at 2:30 pm with two stops being made en route. Name the airline, the two stops and the aircraft type.

And into the new century......

49. You are back in New York City in early 2000 and are working out of an office located not too far from La Guardia Airport. You been asked to attend a meeting in Seattle and have found a convenient direct flight departing LGA in the afternoon that will arrive into SEA that night. Two stops will be made en route. Now you are not familiar with the airline that operates this service but you have managed to book a seat in first class. Identify the air carrier, the two stops and the equipment. It wasn't America West, the stops were not made at CMH and PHX and the aircraft wasn't an A320. Hint: the air carrier in question was a new start up which only lasted several years.

50. It's now late spring in 2001 and your long term project work from the office near La Guardia Airport in New York City has almost concluded. There's just one more meeting to attend and it will involve lunch at a location near San Francisco International Airport. You've grown accustomed to flying out of La Guardia during this work assignment as the airfield is very conveniently located to the office and your apartment. So you find a direct flight departing LGA at 6:50 am that will get you into SFO at 11:30 am with one stop being made en route. Once again you're not familiar with the airline operating this flight but you've been informed you will flying on board an aircraft type which the air carrier has recently introduced into their fleet. Name the airline, the stop and the aircraft.

40- that last hint would almost seem to point to San Francisco (SFO)
