USAir flight twenty years ago
This one is a long shot!
My partner's first flight was USAir 433 from PHL-TPA on 24 March 1997.
She's grown up to be a serious plane spotter and would like to know
a) The type of aircraft, and
b) The reg of the plane
Anyone know where I might be able to find this out? I did ask American but they say it's too far back for their records.
Thanks in advance.

Noxegon, I had a similar problem with a flight I took back in 1968. Airline had long since ceased operating, so I wrote to ATC at both departing and arriving airports and was very pleased to receive an answer a couple of weeks later. Certainly worth a try.

The first is that when I query the OP's flight, it shows the tail number as N625AU, not VJ, a small transcription error.
US 03/24/1997 0433 N625AU TPA 09:25 09:34
The second is that it appears only to show data for domestic flights, darn.
Amazing what you learn on PPRUNE.

But on further research, it seems that USAirways never used the registration N625AU, but changed it to N625VJ. Interesting that the DoT database continues to use AU for that frame.
