As with any other aviation enthusiast, you're always willing to find out the registration of the airplane you're on when you're traveling. In some cases, that's not possible, to the point where you can't get a good glance at the registration because there are no windows, or it's nighttime.
I had a similar situation aboard an American 777-223 (ER). Unfortunately, I could not get a good look at the number both at the departure airport or the arrival airport. Fortunately, there was a plaque at the rear of the airplane that read, "Nose No. (Hard to distinguish text) Tail No. (Completely indistinguishable text)". I gave up. A couple seconds after I settled in my seat, a friendly flight attendant came and said, "7HW". That was obviously the tail number. Is there a way to find out the registration of an airplane by the tail number, or is there a place to look it up? As always, I appreciate all comments.
