Well I hope some others contribute some questions too but here's mine: 1. Confirm that the B727's (-100's or -200's or both?) from MIA to LAX had to stop for fuel enroute sometimes due to headwinds. 2. Did Mr. Storer actually have anything to do with running Northeast, and if so, up until what date? Boy o boy, some aviation reporter ought to interview him and hopefully record a lot of historically important information about Northeast.
