Just off the top of my head, I'm gonna start off with Aeroflot and BEA...

This has to be BWIA, with Viscount service --

1. MIA
2. Montego Bay, Jamaica (MBJ)
3. Kingston, Jamaica (KIN)
4. San Juan, PR (SJU)
5. St. John's, Antigua (ANU)
6. Either Martinique or St. Lucia -- I'll go with Fort de France, Martinique (FDF)
7. Bridgetown, Barbados (BGI)
8. Port of Spain, Trinidad & Tobago (POS)

We lived in POS many years later, but used BWIA to visit all of these stops.

12- ok: SN certainly operated the 707, but I can't associate them with any other early 4-engine jet (Comet, VC-10, DC-8, 880/990), so I'd guess that they ran Caravelles from BRU to Africa via other major European cities (think Paris, Rome, Athens, et al) ... as far as local services within Africa, these may have still been covered by vintage DC-6s

3. British West Indian Airways a.k.a. BWIA a.k.a. "Bee Wee" operating a Vickers Viscount is correct! BTW, I believe WHBM mentioned awhile back that BWIA's Viscount aircraft were provided by BOAC.

With regard to the stops, you missed one and got another one, being Fort de France (FDF) incorrect. In addition, this flight did not stop in St. Lucia and the order of your stops is off a bit.

So we are looking for just one more stop here with all stops listed in their correct order.

Hmm -- I'll try again by adding Grand Cayman (GCM) as the first stop out of MIA, then Montego Bay (MBJ), Kingston (KIN), San Juan (SJU), Antigua (ANU), Barbados (BGI) -- but you said they were in the wrong order -- I'm stumped there.

12- let's go with the ubiquitous 727 as the missing Sabena aircraft

Aeroflot and British European Airways (BEA) are correct! However, you have not identified the respective aircraft types they were operating on the route.

Sorry about that! Let's go with the Trident for BEA and I seem to recall seeing schedules for the TU-134 into London a lot more than I ever did the IL-62, the latter being relegated primarily to longer distance routes. Then again, was the TU-154 up and running by 1967? I don't think so - not until about 1970 if I recall, so let's go with the TU-134 and Bob's your uncle!

4. Detroit Willow Run (YIP)
5. ________________
6. Saginaw/Bay City/ Midland (MBS)

Cedar Rapids (CID)

P.S. I am in Colorado at present, next stop the Mojave Desert followed by a quick trip to Atlanta before returning to FAI by month's end. Then a quick day trip down to LAX for the airline collectibles convention. You'll find that trip report already posted at the Trip Report forum.
