Nice! Found one small issue: I can't search for a flight number with less than three digits. Example: https://flightaware.com/live/flight/DLH1

When talking of short flight numbers, Speedbird 9 is what jumped to mind ... at least for me.

> Ladies and gentlemen, this is your captain speaking. We have a small problem. All four engines have stopped. We are doing our damnedest to get them going again. I trust you are not in too much distress.

British Airways Flight 9, from London Heathrow to Auckland, 24 June 1982.
