BTW, at one point TACA was based in New Orleans due to the civil war in its home country of El Salvador at the time. TACA also operated BAC One-Eleven service into MSY during the mid 1970's.

Please limit your responses to two per day so that all may participate. Thanks! 
The following 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 four quiz items have a time line of the fall of 1994.....
41. 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. Now you need to travel from New Orleans 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?
48. 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.
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. ANSWERED
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.

IIRC between YYZ and CVG was all regional (Comair) at that point - that’s the route we were rebooked on when our flight to ATL was canceled.

63- let's try this again 
RC D9S, BUR-FLL with four stops; we know the first and the last, plus one more ... there are only two permutations, so here's a guess for each:
(1) BUR-LAS-XXX-HOU-MCO-FLL where XXX isn't PHX -- XXX = Tucson (TUS)
(2) BUR-LAS-HOU-YYY-MCO-FLL -- YYY = New Orleans (MSY)
RC D9S, BUR-FLL with four stops; we know the first and the last, plus one more ... there are only two permutations, so here's a guess for each:
(1) BUR-LAS-XXX-HOU-MCO-FLL where XXX isn't PHX -- XXX = Tucson (TUS)
(2) BUR-LAS-HOU-YYY-MCO-FLL -- YYY = New Orleans (MSY)

It wasn't America West, the stops were not made at CMH and PHX and the equipment wasn't an A320. Hint: this flight was operated by a new start up airline that was only in business for several years.

Yep, we were on the 757. I think my dad picked that flight since he hadn’t been on one before. I didn’t realize the PIT stop was due to regulations though.

Interesting, it was all Saab 340’s just one year earlier. I’m glad I got the opportunity to ride on one (and in the best seat, no less - 11A, the last row on the single side).

And I always wanted to fly on board a Saab 2000 but never had the opportunity to do so. I believe the only operator of the Saab 2000 in scheduled service in North America is PenAir up in Alaska (although they've apparently been experiencing financial difficulties and it appears PenAir may have now joined the Ravn airline group up there which includes the former Era Aviation, a company I previously worked for).
I also seem to recall that Pro Air was planning to introduce Saab 2000 flights as a feeder service with aircraft that GM had been using in corporate shuttle configuration.....but it never happened and Pro Air subsequently went out of business.

I see Saab 2000s every day, BA used to contract Eastern Airways to have them at London City, some even painted in BA colours, but have recently moved the work to Loganair, who have a large fleet of both 340s and 2000s. The last time I took them, to the Isle of Man, the regular S2000 in BA colours was off for a check, and we had one in Eastern colours instead.
I do recall in the US travelling London to Jacksonville FL via Miami, for a significant evening meeting, and being quite unconcerned about a connection at Miami onto the Saab 340 of American, which was probably my first ride on one. I've always liked them, they look like a proper aircraft, unlike some other commuter types (I'm not looking especially at Shorts, but I might be ...).
First ride in an S2000 was likely in Cityjet, of all carriers, London City to Dublin, who had them in their fleet for a brief period, and in their own colours, unusually, as they used to paint everything in their cdeshare partners liveries.
I took a 340 some years ago, part of a meeting with someone who jlemon may know, from Helsinki to Lappeenranta in Finland. The operator was Golden Air, based in Sweden, and the through fare was little more than normal London to Helsinki, which I connected out of (by the skin of my teeth eventually, and my bag didn't make it, but that's another story). Now Finland is a bilingual country, speaking Finnish and Swedish. About a dozen on board, and unusually two flight attendants, the second being a trainee. In the safety briefing one read the script, the other did the pantomime. They went right through it all in Finnish, and then again from the start in Swedish. Then they scowled at the passenger manifest, looked directly at me, nodded to each other - and did the whole lot again in English. Of course, I paid very close attention to them.

Here are all of the remaining unanswered quiz items....and I have now added even more hints.
The following 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. This flight originated in Asia. The air carrier wasn't Thai Airways International.
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 7:05 pm. Name the airline, the stop and the equipment. This was a same plane service with no change of equipment and the stop was made in the U.S.
The next four quiz items have a time line of the fall of 1994....
41. You are in San Francisco and need to travel to Port of Spain in Trinidad on business. To your great surprise, you find there is a direct flight from SFO to POS which 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. The airline is United with stops being made at DEN, MIA and CCS. Equipment wasn't a B727-200 and we are still looking for the missing stop.
43. Now 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? ANSWERED
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? ANSWERED
48. 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. ANSWERED
50. It's now late spring in 2001 and your long term project work from an office near La Guardia Airport in New York City has almost concluded. There's just one more meeting to attend and it will involve a 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. You're not familiar with airline operating the flight but you've been informed you will be flying on an aircraft type which the air carrier has recently introduced into their fleet.

A connection would then be made to a wide body jet operated by Continental for the transatlantic flight to IAH. Identify the airline that operated the originating flight from AMS as well as the equipment operated on this flight and also name the airport where the connection was made plus the wide body aircraft type operated by CO from AMS to IAH. ANSWERED
