Aircraft Registrations for old flights

[MrHyde]

Hi,

I've just got interested in seeing how many flights and when I took them. So far, I've compiled by list for 2010, which numbers around 50 flights so far. My numbers for 2009 and 2008 would easily be in the 100s range. One of the things I would like to do is attach Aircraft Registration numbers to them. Does anyone know any sites to get old registration numbers. Most of these flights would be on Qantas domestic/trans tasman. I've also done flights to Europe, Middle East and USA in the past 3 years, so that would help as well.

So far, this is what I have found:

• The Qantas Source: QANTAS Flight Tracker. - Good for QF flights from Sep 2009 onwards.

• Heathrow Airport Archive - No title - Good for flights to/fro LHR from 1958 onwards. Although one of AY flights from Oct 2009 is not there.
• ACARSD - Fleetlist search results - acarsd ACARS Decoder for Linux and Windows - Good for last three months worldwide, although one of my EY flights from March 2010 is not there.
• Spotters - SPOTTERS - SPecial Over The Top Email Request System - Worldwide last six months, although my EY flight above is not there either.
• BTS - BTS | Airline On-Time Statistics - All US Domestic flights from 1995 onwards - have not entered any US flights yet to see how good this is. Being Government site, I would expect it to be complete.

Anyone have other sites that could potentially fill in my missing gaps. The main ones are:

• QF for 2006 onwards
• NZ for 2008 onwards
• JQ for 2005 onwards
• CX for 2006 onwards
• LCC carriers in Europe in 2008

I could do with older flights as well, but I myself wouldn't have kept the boarding passes or itineraries of flights before 2006.

Cheers.

Update: Found ACARSD (http://www.acarsd.org/world_ACARS_reports/) has reports from 2006 onwards and I managed to find my missing AY flight on it. Still could not find the EY flight in those reports. Also, could not find any of the Australia/NZ domestic flights I took in 2006/2007 in there.

Sorry to hijack your thread MrHyde, but I am also trying to fill in the gaps for historic flights.

I don't have dates but can anyone help me by telling me what type of a/c QF would have been using on QF3/4 (SYD-HNL-SFO vv.) back in late 1992 (September, October, November).

Thanks

1992 would have seen a combi or normal 742 operating the route, the combis often did CNS-HNL.

I can also recommend storing the flights on flightmemory:

FlightMemory - Where your memories fly! - Create your personal Flight Memory and keep track of where you've flown!

Tells you all sorts of good stuff

See my link below.

Cheers,

Nick

p.s. thanks for your links, I have now been able to add the links of my earlier flights to Europe where i never collected the rego! And has anyone got one for Gatwick?

The oz-spotters mailing list archive is good for Australian flights.

I can also recommend storing the flights on flightmemory: ...

Entering flight data using that interface is a real love job (AKA a PITA) :-|

Yes it is.. but I got it done in the end!!! although they will upload it for you for a charge.

Thanks for the oz-spotters link. I've joined there and it does seem to have the missing information for my Aus/NZ flights.

Has anyone got any other links for aircraft movement pre 2000? I'm looking at JFK and LAX in 1997. Long shot I know!!

But thanks to some of the links above I have tracked down over 20 missing aircraft. Including some from 1995!
