The Vuelopedia page devoted to one individual aircraft, bringing together its identity, technical data, operators, flight log and event history.
What it is
Vuelopedia is organised around the individual airframe rather than the aircraft type. Each aircraft it documents has its own record, with its registration, model and variant and, where known, its serial number, engines, seating configuration, date of manufacture and first flight.
The record also tells the aircraft's life story: the airlines that have flown it and when, the airports it has used most, a year-by-year flight log where public data exists, and the events on file, from a spell in storage to an incident. Everything is laid out on a timeline.
An aircraft may change registration and operator several times over its career, yet it keeps a single record, because what identifies it is its key, not its registration.
On Vuelopedia
Each record has its own address of the form /en/aircraft/<key> and can be found by searching for any registration the aircraft has ever carried.
