What aircraft that you’ve flown exist as models?

[JJ Skippy]

Some more exciting things I found in my research:

- My parents flew N164AA, a DC-10-30 between HNL and DFW in 1999. Aeroclassics/Bluebox released this in 2021.
- A couple relatives of mine flew N773NC, a DC-9-50 for Northwest in 2002. I possess this one with the final livery (they flew it with Bowling Shoe colors).
- They also flew N945N and N952N when it was with Northwest; I have them as models with Republic/NC hybrid from AC and North Central colors from Netmodels, respectively.

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

This is 100% the website I mentioned! Thank you for finding it.

My collection basically doubles as my flight/spotting log, though I've made compromises, as getting models of a specific registration/airframe made is essentially a gamble, especially with common airline/type combos

The 3 models in my collection that fit this strict criteria also have another common theme: special liveries. They're far more likely to be picked up by manufacturers, after all.

NG JA873A, IAH-HND. And yes, ANA went the whole nine yards with the R2D2 theme. Also the best Texmex I've had in the air!


Panda B-HYB, HKG-PEK. Sadly both the airline and the airframe flew into the sunset when Covid hit a few months later


NG N77014, EWR-PEK and back. As the only plane I've flown more than once on and the ex-Peter Max jet, she'll always have a special place in my heart.


Now, there's also preserved aircraft; while they sure ain't flying, some allow for walk-throughs. If I include those, we have...

• United 727 N7017U (Aeroclassics)
• NASA 747SCA N905NA (Dragon Wings, Jet-X, and Patriot)
• Northwest 747 N601US (Aeroclassics and Jet-X)
• BA 747 G-AWNG (Aeroclassics)
• Air Force One VC-137 72-7000 (Aeroclassics and GJ)
• BA Concorde G-BOAD (everyone had a go with this one lol)

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

Yup it was orange!

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

Post #1527 explains this issue with BTS and shows how to correct the issue

[777-300ER]

Yup it was orange!

Love the 777 cockpit

I have also flown on B-HYB in September 2016 NKG-HKG. But then it was a white Dragonair. Got the very old DW 1:400 model.

Here’s a few of the ones I’ve flown on - there’s more but these were the easiest for me to grab for some quick pics:
- JC Wings now-Southwest but previously house livery 737 MAX 8 N8702L. Actually flew on this one twice, MCO-HOU and MCO-PIT
- NG Southwest Illinois One 737-800, MDW-PIT the day before the infamous WN meltdown of Christmas 2022


-NG Alaska Honoring Those Who Serve 737-900, SEA-PIT on 6/13/20


-NG Alaska A321NEO N921VA, SEA-MCO on 2/14/22


-Gemini Horizon Q400 N400QX - was in the University of Idaho livery when I flew on it (and not in the drag race config like the model), SEA-GEG on 7/31/20


-Panda Allegiant A319 N334NV, MLB-PIT on 11/23/21


-NG American Stand Up To Cancer A321, DFW-MCO on 5/30/22
