You can find inactive and abandoned Reeve virtual using archive.org website. It will show you all routes. You will NOT be able to get info on specific registration numbers for such flights as Reeve changed planes all the time but the closest thing you can get is from photos of Reeve on airlines.net and see the airports along with photos of specific registrations numbers.
As for accurate period routes, one method is to buy from Amazon amazing book called Flying Beats Work: The Story of Reeve Aleutian Airways by Stan Cohen where you can find route infos from 1940 to 1970.

Here is the registration information. This Aerobernie site (while in German) is great for getting this kind of info. aerobernie.bplaced.net/Reeve%20Aleutian.htmlWe got our flight information from OAG books; let me know if you need any specific year(s) and I'll see if it's in there. I have 1955 to 1964. |

Yes it is not complete, unfortunately. I have most of the missing US airline info from the now defunct Airline Fleets site (I saved all the pages to my computer) but I don’t know of a source for the missing airlines in the rest of the world.

One indirect wavy I get reg info:
1. Look on the net for pictures of the aircraft in the needed airline colors. Note the reg number.
2. Use the relevant Airliner Production List book to look up that reg number in the index and thus find any other numbers in that series.
3. Double check those reg numbers to be sure they are all the correct airline and aircraft.

I have ordered that book to read. I bought the book too last year. It had all informations on schedules and there were tons of timetables on that book which allowed me to recreate historic routes of Reeve. I have found almost all registration numbers for the DC-3/4/6's and L-188's. I could only find 1 for the Goose though. You were not being specific enough in your original post. I thought you wanted to know which registration number of an aircraft served on specific Reeve route which was why I said it would be totally impossible because they changed DC-3s for a particular route hence my previous suggestion for you to use airliners.net to look at photos showing airports and specific registration numbers of Reeve planes that would shed info and answer for you. I did NOT know that all you wanted is registration numbers of all Reeve aircrafts in the Reeve fleet. Also do not forget that Reeve operated jets too. I plan to work on building routes this week so maybe I can declare the VA open for business next week. Good luck to you but it is not good idea to hurry up and open the VA for business. It takes time to create a great VA. And do not be discouraged if you have too few pilots. At least, you get to own a VA and have fun with it. I have found almost all registration numbers for the DC-3/4/6's and L-188's. Reeve also operated YS-11s too. Regards, Aharon |

Tom,
Planelogger is a good source, or for airlines missing from Aerobernie. You can get the operator history of each aircraft too and so a reasonably accurate set of operating dates.

because there are no YS-11 or 727 aircraft for P3D or MSFS (Yet). First of all, never never exclude any platform such as FSX or FS2004 or otherwise you will have trouble recruiting pilots. Heck, you are member of Calclassics forums rich of potential pilot recruits that you can invite to your planned VA. CalClassics forums has 1,924 members meaning 1,924 users of FSX and FS2004!!!!!!!
Second of all, 727 and YS-11 do work in P3D.

Aharon
