You can look up your flight information from there, which will include a tail number (with a few exceptions). Usually there is a 2-3 month delay in the information being accessible online. Also, I've noticed that for some AA aircraft (MD80s if I remember correctly), they do not have their tail number listed (N****), but rather a fleet designator (e.g. 3AT) corresponding to what is found on the nose gear door. I used to know of a database that would then let you find the tail number from the fleet number, but it recently went offline.
WAY COOL!

SOME RJs there is a plack on the wall outside the galley naming the plane after an Employee of the Month and listing the N-number.
Here's another FAA site where you can enter an N-number and get the ergistration information.
BTW, N526AA was a "FALCON-XP" from 05/15/1985 until 04/17/1991 and has been a Bell OH-58C helicopter since 02/19/2003.
And guess who uses N1KE in eaverton, OR?
