Quoting UA787DEN (Thread starter): A friend of mine has a memory of DL historically flying ANC-FAI
Yes DL operated ANC-FAI. For example, in the April 2, 1995 OAG DL had one 757 and one 727-200 ANC-FAI daily. I think the 757 was a continuation of a flight from SLC and the 727 from SEA.

and to add (though off topic) Delta had JNU - FAI after the merger with Western. I remember going to JNU in 1987 and seeing the lone DL flight arrive from SEA and continue on to FAI.

I thought i remember Delta flying SLC/SEA-JNU-FAI or something like that. Also SLC-ANC-FAI at another point.

I remember when I worked at SLC, that we had at least one of the ANC flights went on to FAI. Later the ANC-FAI became seasonal. We had 2 ANC flights, daily......first 727s, then 737-300s and then later 757s or 767s. Considering the cargo loads, most of the year, it should have been 767s all year round.

SLC-IAD with a tag-on to DCA? You've got to be kidding me!
Ya gotta love that pesky perimeter rule at DCA!
Depart DCA at noon to IAD, depart IAD at 12:40, arrive SLC at 3:25. The later flight was a 5:25 DCA departure feeding a 6:05 IAD departure, with and 8:50P SLC arrival.
They also had 4x daily 733 service between LGA and BOS, feeding an SLC nonstop from BOS.

DL had a variety of flights out of FAI over the years.
My first ever flight was a DL 727 from FAI-ANC-SLC in 1989.
I remember in 1992 or 1993 taking a DL 727 from LAX-PDX-ANC-FAI as well.
