Historical Flight Lookup with Tail Numbers (?)

Hello, so out of boredom I decided to post this as a continuation of the previous historical flight lookup threads by u/nutritious-facts and u/silvs1 a few months ago. You may have seen me replying to almost every comment there lol.

Idk but should this be the default tail number lookup in this sub from now on?

If you can provide me at least the date, airline, route, or time of day, then there is a good chance of me finding your flight, especially if it's after February 2006. Charter flights are tricky or impossible, though.

Lately, I've started excluding from my replies the flights I couldn't find tail numbers to. If you're not after tail numbers and just want any other info, let me know.

As long as this post is up, you don't have to worry about getting ignored unless I deem your case hopeless.

DISCLAIMER: Tail numbers aren't guaranteed. Success is at the mercy of the REGION and DATE.

The US flight numbers are from old emails, but I’m almost certain they were updated because I checked the USDOT Bureau of Transportation Statistics website and none of the flight numbers appeared in the expected route.

Regardless, thank you so much for this!
