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.
Flight Historian tracks all my airline and charter flights . However, I’ve taken a few flights which are not logged in Flight Historian. Non-Airline Flights I’ve had a few flights not operated by an airline which were therefore not logged. This includes a number of general aviation flights, several helicopters, and a biplane ride. My (now) wife and I riding in a Travel Air 4000 biplane on 9 Jun 2014.
