I understand that there are various paid subscription services that allow me to search back up to a year in the past for the IDs of any flight and the histories of any aircraft.

Is there a free (or one-time fee) service or API for identifying the aircraft I've flown on specific dates and flights in the (up to several years) past?

  • $\begingroup$ It's a one-time fee if you cancel the subscription right away... $\endgroup$

The US (if that's your area of flying) is very kind in publicly releasing stats compared to other territories, but the answer is still you can't without a paid service.

See:

In short: The FAA only keeps broad records that do not contain information such as tail numbers.

Start a personal flight journal for future flights, it's a hobby some enjoy. I did at one time, and when I couldn't catch the registration, I asked the flight crew.
