Flight Historian

A History of Flight Historian

I travel reasonably often, and I consider myself a bit of a transportation nerd. It’s only logical that I would keep track of where I’ve flown.

How I created Flight Historian, my flight logging website.

Unlogged Flights

Flight Historian tracks all my commercial flights since 2001. However, I’ve taken a few flights which are not logged in Flight Historian. Flights before 2001 I grew up as part of a military family and moved around the world, so I took a number of international flights as a child. However, I’m unable to recall enough information about these flights (I don’t even know the specific dates) to enter them into my flight log.
