According to a Freedom of Information Act reply from the U.S. Bureau
of Transportation Statistics (BTS), 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, while no pre-9/11 final flight information was provided for
American Airlines flight 77 (N644AA).
However, a discovered searchable online BTS database produces the
following search results for three of the four 9/11 aircraft on
September 10, 2001:
AA 11 departs San Francisco (SFO): AA 09/10/2001 0198 (flight
number) N334AA (tail number) BOS (destination) 22:04 (wheels-off time)
UA 175 departs San Francisco (SFO): UA 09/10/2001 0170 (flight
number) N612UA (tail number) BOS (destination) 13:44 (wheels-off time)
UA 93 departs San Francisco (SFO): UA 09/10/2001 0078 (flight
number) N591UA (tail number) EWR (destination) 23:15 (wheels-off time)
