Aeroplane details from flight number
Discussion
Hello all,
I thought from reading the "your first flight" thread that I would like get my nephew a model of the very aeroplane he took his first flight in (he's currently in Florida and his first flight was going out there). So the question is is there somewhere I can put the flight number in and get back the details of the actual aeroplane used?
I know flight numbers are reused so time\date info would probably be needed as well.
Google shows ways of finding details about future flights but I can't find anything that appears accurate about past flights. It was DL41 BTW and seems it was likely a 767-400.

Key in the flight number, might have to select 'more information', or something, for the aircraft type, can't remember.
edit...
767-400 it is...probably
Flight is also KLM 6001
Looks like you have to register to get earlier dates.

All I need now is the Reg No
(p.s not surprised about it not being a JU52, SiL would have mentioned the corrugations, she's quick like that
)Excellent
Delta were very good in responding to my email (especially on a Sunday), so good on them, very pleased
It seems that it was ship number 001804 (N828MH), now I need to track down a model.
It seems plastic wise I need to buy 2 767-300's and do some cut and shut and extend the wings, change the undercarriage (although I was thinking of putting it on a stand), and use 777 windows...
Well every journey starts with a step.

Yes I've seen those very good but a bit pricy, may want to see what I can do myself first. Thanks

Talking of 3 engines..I think that my first flight was on a British Midland Trident in 1973.
Not British Midland. They never operated Tridents.In the UK, the operators were, BEA, Northeast and British Airways.
It was a guess - I'm fairly certain it was three engined as it was a talking point for me at the time, probably not a Tristar as we were only going as far as Dussoldorf and it was run by a civilian contractor for the MoD (it was all RAF and Army and dependants as passengers).
I know that British Midland had such a contract at some point.

The only UK operator of 727s was Dan Air.
British Midland operated Douglas DC-9s (twin engines), Viscounts and, on occasion, BAC 1-11s.
Another operator of Tridents I omitted from my initial list was Channel Airways - who went bust in 1972 their Tridents going to BKS (which later became Northeast).
At one point British Midland had a tie in with Cyprus Airways. Cyprus Airways did have a couple of Tridents. There is a remote chance that a Cyprus Airways Trident might have been used by British Midland on an ad hoc basis, I suppose.
