I'm not sure what forum section to put this in here, but I was wondering if anyone here might be able to help get me in touch with a timetable collector (or a few) who might be able to help me fill in some gaps in my Retro IND flight data. I'm looking to build up at least one listing of 24 hours of scheduled aircraft movements per year from 1978 to 2008; from this, I will be able to build up a chronological tracker of which gates should be occupied with which aircraft types at any point in the day. All I need are the to/from IND sections of the timetable; I will put the times and flight numbers and such into an Excel file and let that generate the gate occupancy data for me. Then it's just a matter of selecting a time on the clock and putting the planes at the appropriate gates and photographing away....
Are there any airline timetable collectors here?

Here you go. I typed up the American stuff, but I’ll send the rest in photos. Hopefully this puts together a few pieces of the puzzle for you. I’ve only included the direct flights.

This is great! Are you able to get the equipment types for AA by any chance?

The AA ones in my November 1992 were all listed as “100”. The 1983 timetable doesn’t list it unfortunately, but Departed Flights show both 727 types for that year.

I just now remembered I might base my fictional airport’s schedule on IND’s so I should maybe take notes too.

I do have a few of the schedules that we need for this project, but unfortunately most of them only have flights to IND and not from IND. I do know that Delta and Eastern...among others... do not usually put the equipment types in the flight schedules, so perhaps an OAG would be more useful. One thing that I specifically need is a People Express schedule from October and November 1981. We have gaps in 1978, 1984, 1986, 1987, 1990, 1992, 1993, 1994, 1996, 1997, 1998, 2000, 2004, 2006, 2007, and 2008... so anything in these time frames would be much appreciated. We don't need the actual timetables or OAGs, just a photo or a scan sent as a PDF file would work.

What does “X6” mean?
JJ Skippy
Well-known member
The numbers represent the days of the week. 1 being Monday, 2 being Tuesday, 3 Wednesday, and so on through Sunday (7). The X means the flight does not operate on this day, so X6 means that the flight does not operate on Saturdays.
The OAG data would be usable, but please be sure to look through the other cities and include the flights from IND.

We will definitely need OAG data. I don't know if anyone on the forum has any that they would be willing to loan us or sell, or perhaps scan the pages for IND (to and from) Basically I need at least 1 per year from 1974 to 2001.

One that I specifically need is November, 1981. That's when People Express began service here, and they did not last long...maybe a month or 2 at the most.
