Are other users having as small a success rate as I am having?
Since you're American, this one may be useful:

Too bad it starts in 1995, and I'm missing several registrations from 1993.
Since I have every tail number for the last 3 years, I've been chasing those of 2005-2007, and I decided to e-mail some of the airlines, in order to get the registration from them. I knew that success would be very unlikely, but hey, SQ and KE provided the registration I was looking for. ANA and TG, on the other hand, said that too much time has elapsed to retrieve this information (I don't believe it, but at least they replied), and I've got nothing from another 3 requests.
I may try with some European airlines, but I very much doubt that they'll bother to check that out; Asian service is usually far superior.
