By the way, for anyone who wonders what registrations they have flown, you can check on flightera.net. You enter the flight number and then search per year, per month and finally per day. It should give you the tail number, its config, its age but also informations like the departure and arrival terminal and usually the exact gates. The other alternative I know is Flightradar24 (without subscription if you flew in the 7 last days) or (with subscription if the flight happened in the last 365 years depending on the subscription offers)

I’ll have to use this. My grandparents took some flights back in the late 70s and 80s, does this go back that far?

I went to check for a flight I took in 2014 but it only returned results starting from 2017

This is a cool topic - I’m glad to know I’m not the only crazy person who tracks this and then seeks out such models haha. I’ll have to go through my list later and post pics

Nah. I couldn't even find my Delta flight from ATL to FOR back in 2009

Unfortunate… I’ll never be able to find that info

I cannot recall the name of the website off hand, i’ll try and find it later for you all. It’s a US government FAA website I believe that spits out a bunch of historical flight info (aircraft type, flight number, date etc) all in a spreadsheet type database. You just have to give it certain inputs like the date of the flight, plane type, flight number, etc. I can’t recall how strict of info you had to give it but it goes back a good bit. I found specific flight regs from 2014 just by knowing the date and general time of departure. It’s of course US airlines only unfortunately (I believe) but might be helpful to some. I think I found it through an old Airliners.net thread trying to figure stuff like this out! I’m sure some of you might know it off the top of the head too.

In regards to regs I’ve flown on, I have a list that goes back to about 2014/15 but no models have been produced of anything yet. I’ve definetly flown on a bunch of southwest 737 classics and older 2000s USAirways planes when I was younger but I have no info other than memory on those. I always dream I got lucky enough to fly on shamu back in the day without realizing

 

[LAN子]

N8627B (Southwest 737-800 in Canyon Blue, made by NG)
N724SW (Southwest 737-700 in Desert Gold, made by Panda)
N410WN (Southwest 737-700 in Heart, specifically with the mismatched Canyon winglet... NG made this for some reason.. and when I flew it, it had the mismatched winglet.)
N659DL (Delta 757 by NG)
N525US (Delta 757, It's not a model yet, but it's approved on the website..)
N955WN (Southwest 737-700, in the Phoenix livery)

I own them all as models.

I've only kept track of easy regs. So pretty much no N- number regs they lack personality. Letter regs are easier to remember. But I should log pax regs also. In fact I started filling the flightradar24 logbook that includes flight as a passenger. Never got around to completing it because of that lack of info.

Ones I remember I've flown on that exist as a model (including customs or not diecast)*

PH-BVA
PH-BVU
PH-KCE
PH-DTA
PH-BFN*
PJ-SEH*
PJ-SEG*
PJ-SNL*
PJ-DHA*
P4-EMA
YV-24C*
YV-32C*
YV-707C*
TI-AZD*
TI-BGP*
TI-BGM*
N991LR
HP-1857CMP*
HP-1841CMP
HP-9907CMP
HP-9926CMP... Pretty much all of modern Copa that has been modelled excluding the 737-200 because I don't remember the regs.


I think everything I've flown on that I don't remember regs has had a model made of at some point.

The pictures are ones I've flown on, not all exact regs.

Ph-bva is quite the livery to fly on (if it was on the orange pride livery when you flew)

If anyone is able to find this please drop a link! Hopefully this will help me find the aforementioned flights I’m looking for.

Yes. it's BTS data...on time arrivals or departures.. You can view tail numbers going back to January 1995. Here's the link:

Ah man only 1995. Well there are some other flights I could look at from that period…

Any idea as to what N2ADAA would be? Some regs have letters in place of numbers for some reason.

 

[Purpleplane]

I know, it's a bummer. I'd really like to see something that goes back to the late 70s or so...that data is probably long gone though.

Yes, sometimes they use fleet numbers (or letters especially for AA) I think that's an MD-80. I'll check it out.

 

[Purpleplane]

Found it.. it was a Fokker 100..N1403M...found the fleet number (2AD) in planespotters.net

Wow an F100? My parents flew on that one then between DFW and OMA in 1999. They flew MD-80 N575AA on the way to DFW… one number off one of the GJ releases.

EDIT: looks like it was N575AM — no 575AA ever existed based on my research

 

[Purpleplane]

Another example...sometimes on Southwest they leave off the SW or WN...like N96 for 737-2H4 N96SW.

Preserved pilot logbooks can yield some of that data. Not easy info to access.
