All,
I'm planning a cross-country flight in the early 1960s time period using mostly CalClassic and Historic Jetliners Group aircraft. So far I've routed myself from SAN-LAX-SFO-SAC-RNO. I'd like to then head to Vegas and continue to Kingman, Phoenix, Tucson, and Albuquerque. Somehow I'll end up in Fort Worth and head on to New Orleans, Atlanta, and finally Jacksonville.
I'm trying to do this using only CalClassic scenery and actual flights. I'm also trying to include as many airlines and aircraft types as possible.
Here's my problem. In timetables from the early 1960sI can't find any way go non-stop from Reno to Las Vegas, or from Albuquerque to Fort Worth. Does anyone have any thoughts on which airline, if any, flew those routes? On a Western timetable from 1964, RNO-LAS is shown as a "connecting airline route," but I can't figure out what airline that is.
My only hope right now is to do RNO-SLC-ABQ. I haven't come up with an alternate plan for the Fort Worth leg. Any ideas?

Tom,
It does help. Thanks! I don't know how I missed those flights. I'm using Bonanza to connect the gap from LAS to PHX. And I pored over the Continental timetables for a while too. I guess looking at the same numbers for too long makes you blind!
