Retro flights
I'm interested in crafting a "historical" bid with older American Eagle destinations using the Convair 580, Metroliner, SD330, etc. I found the older AA timetables on www.departedflights.com but they don't include equipment information. Since there were so many other companies flying as AE it's really confusing to put these together. Has anyone tried this before? I suspect in the end I'm just going to have to pick the routes from the old tables and get creative with the equipment used based on distance and airports.

Re: Retro flights
Hi Norberto,
I have used this website in the past for retro flights. The bad news is that the old timetables didn't list equipment most of the time unless they were promoting a new aircraft, but you may just find what you are looking for.
