Does anyone know of a source for historical FARs that include part 61?
I think it was Jim Macklin that posted this link, but I have thus far
been unable to find part 61 in the historical list.

I did learn that the change in logging of solo time as PIC occurred in
1997 which explains why I didn't log my time thusly in 1978. However, I
also logged cross country time back then for flights less than 50 NM
and my recollection is that the requirement then was 25 NM, but I can't
find a reference yet to confirm this.

http://www.gpoaccess.gov/cfr/index.html goes back to 1996.

To go back earlier than that, you might have to try a federal depository
library (http://www.gpoaccess.gov/libraries.html). If you ask the
librarian for "the FARs" he might not have a clue what you're talking
about, but if you ask for "14 CFR", he will.
