Honestly, Wikipedia. But there are databases that track aircraft production and activity worldwide, since these are relatively low volume aircraft.
For example: wanna know what happened to the Gimli Glider? --> Air Canada C-GAUN (Boeing 767 - MSN 22520) | Airfleets aviation
What about a 747 that Singapore Airlines used to own? --> Atlas Air N471MC (Boeing 747 - MSN 26557) (Ex 9V-SPL B-HKX ) | Airfleets aviation
There's a Qantas jet I remember seeing about in a TV special about it's retirement --> Amerijet International N373CM (Boeing 767 - MSN 24929) (Ex VH-OGG ) | Airfleets aviation
There's plenty of info around, you just have to know where it is (and how to verify it).

It wouldn't have hurt him! They're cooked to perfection, very soft and impossible to choke on, don't worry!
*shakes my head at you in disbelief, then stuffs the rest of my celery into my refrigerated veggie and fruit bunker*
I'll definitely have to look around for those! Definitely interesting to look at! Cool to see how far we've come in technology

And before this page passes: This year in aviation history, AS-204 catches fire on the launch pad during a ground 'plugs-out' test, killing its pilots Gus Grissom, Edward White II, and Roger Chaffee. This flight would be posthumously named Apollo 1, at the request of the relatives of the crew. The combination of a pure oxygen environment and abundant combustible materials, as well as a pressurized cabin hatch, trapped the astronauts in the cabin and prevented rescue. This accident was a massive step backwards for NASA, but arguably in a good way. Realizing their hastiness to beat the Soviets to the moon, they realized that they had failed to do their work, to sum it up, correctly.
Spaceflight will never tolerate carelessness, incapacity, and neglect. Somewhere, somehow, we screwed up. It could have been in design, build, or test. Whatever it was, we should have caught it.
We were too gung ho about the schedule and we locked out all of the problems we saw each day in our work. Every element of the program was in trouble and so were we. The simulators were not working, Mission Control was behind in virtually every area, and the flight and test procedures changed daily. Nothing we did had any shelf life. Not one of us stood up and said, "Dammit, stop!"
I don't know what Thompson's committee will find as the cause, but I know what I find. We are the cause! We were not ready! We did not do our job. We were rolling the dice, hoping that things would come together by launch day, when in our hearts we knew it would take a miracle. We were pushing the schedule and betting that the Cape would slip before we did.
From this day forward, Flight Control will be known by two words: "Tough and Competent." Tough means we are forever accountable for what we do or what we fail to do. We will never again compromise our responsibilities. Every time we walk into Mission Control we will know what we stand for.
Competent means we will never take anything for granted. We will never be found short in our knowledge and in our skills. Mission Control will be perfect.
When you leave this meeting today you will go to your office and the first thing you will do there is to write "Tough and Competent" on your blackboards. It will never be erased. Each day when you enter the room these words will remind you of the price paid by Grissom, White, and Chaffee. These words are the price of admission to the ranks of Mission Control.
-Gene Kranz, mission control manager following the accident.
Apollo 1 would change NASA's culture for the better, leading to a safety-oriented approach in design and procedure. This philosophy has slowly been adapted in aviation as a whole, and the renewal it gave NASA would reward them just two years later with Apollo 11.

Come on, I'm on your team here! Although I'm clearly biased towards seaweed for obvious reasons.
I'm just not a huge fan of celery, that's all!

...something isn't right...
*tosses it in @Groggy's incinerator, as stealthily as he can so @Simo doesn't notice and get offended*
I'm glad they didn't go to waste, then! *noms on some myself and splits them with @Spilogale Pygmaea*
