Retro timetable for retro endorsed pilots

[Michael Blakely]

We've added a retro timetable for retro endorsed pilots. The link is on the left hand navigation bar right under the regular timetable search. This is for use by retro endorsed pilots only. Currently the timetable has DC3, DC6, and 707 flights. Thanks to Wayne Pierce for entering the data from old timetable images for us to use. If any other retro pilots would like to help with the data entry, drop me a PM or an email.

Thanks Michael and Wayne

Retro timetable will be a great step to make AAV the best in the net.

Thakns again

WOW, Thanks Mike. An added note here these are flights from the 1945, 1951, 1959 AA timetables. These are the major East Coast to West Coast routes via the cities they served back then. Some of the airfields in those cities are not what they are now so the ICAO's are different. Some have had the modern airfields put in place as those original airfields are no longer there.
I am still working on the more close in routes to more cities within the states.

Thanks Wayne and Mike!
Very good job.
I love the history and if it possible I want to know more about those routes and your investigation: Where you found it, how long it took to get them, types of aircraft that flew ...

[Panagiotis Zervoulias]

Thank you guys! Really good work. Could you please add the timetables for the MD11 in a future update probably? Thank you very much and keep up the good work!

[Michael Blakely]

Panagiotis,
Do you want to help us add the MD11 routes? It's a matter of typing the data from old timetables into a text file for me to upload.


Omar,
The timetables come from here: http://www.timetableimages.com/ttimages/aa.htm

Thnks Mike

[Panagiotis Zervoulias]

Michael I' d really like to help. Could you please tell me where the old timetable is located?

[Panagiotis Zervoulias]

Interesting discovery. I' ll check this timetable in detail when I' m at home tommorow night (Greek time), as I' m on vacation and the only Internet I have is in my iPhone and it is not so fast. Please don't hurry as I'd like to search for old timetables too and I will make the md11' s timetable please. Thank you!

[Michael Blakely]

If you want to help, the format I need the data in is this:

Format:
The format has these elements all separated by commas: Flight number, departure city, departure city ICAO code, arrival city, arrival city ICAO code, departure time (24 hour time), arrival time (24 hour time), flight time (should equal arrival time minus departure time), equipment ICAO code, distance

A completed entry looks like this:
AA1, New York, KJFK, Los Angeles, KLAX, 09:00, 12:40, 6:40, 762, 2,472mi

If you don't know the duration or distance, that's OK, I can generate those quickly with my personal tools. Just leave them out.

One last note. Some parts of this thread talk about using timetables without departure or arrival times. I don't think we should load those, but that's just my opinion and you all could out-vote me if you like.

[Panagiotis Zervoulias]

Good news Sergio! Thanks for searching. I' ll search myself when I have some time (this weekend). I still believe I can find something more. We' ll see.

[Panagiotis Zervoulias]

Gentlemen,
Unfortunately I didn' t manage to find any flights to help you with the retro timetable. I' ve searched the whole weekend, but I didn' t find something. I had to find flights flown with the MD-11. Any help would be very kind of you....

[Panagiotis Zervoulias]

Well today again I' ve searched for 5 hours for an American Airlines timetable that includes flight with the MD-11, but without any results. I can' t find something good. Help me please!

I cannot find one also. There may not be any such thing around on the net available anymore. E-bay?

Well I found a retro timetable on eBay that maybe has the MD-11 flights. And I'm sure that you're talking about the same timetable Mr. Pierce. But should I buy it? And if it hasn't got the information I need?
