U.S. BTS: Last Known Flights Of 9/11 Planes Took Place Nine Months Before 9/11; None For AA 77
According to a Freedom of Information Act reply from the U.S. Bureau of Transportation Statistics, the last known pre-9/11 flights for three of the four aircraft involved in the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001 took place in December, 2000, nine months before the attacks. No pre-9/11 flight information is available for these planes during 2001.
No pre-9/11 final flight information was provided for American Airlines flight 77 (N644AA).
U.S. Code of Federal Regulations requires carriers to provide on-time data for their commercial aircraft on a monthly basis.
Title 14 § 234.4 Reporting of on-time performance.
(a) Each reporting carrier shall file BTS Form 234 “On-Time Flight Performance Report” with the Office of Airline Information on a monthly basis ... and shall contain the following information:
(1) Carrier and flight number. (2) Aircraft tail number. (3) Origin and Destination airport codes.

Plenty of time for a retrofit - or disappearing act. Unless the records are doctored. If they are true, what about this: What are the odds of a commercial jet being idled for a year prior to 9.11? How about 2? 4? All within days of each other? And then all 4 being involved in 9.11. Break out the actuary tables...infinitesimally small chance.
