Historical flight path data

Question

Im looking for data on historical US flight paths. I know the FAA has a real-time data stream that gives the flight, latitude, longitude, and altitude of planes throughout their flight path. I want this data for the past 10 or so years. Anyone know if this is available?

Most of the providers such as flightaware only seem to be offering the realtime stream, not historical data too.

It might be something available at cost - FlightView Historical Data & Reports

I looked around openflights.org before and it didn't seem like they had specific latitude and longitude coordinates throughout the flight, but just keep track of information like flight 123 from A to B and then use a general formula to create the path. I need specific information on what areas these planes are flying over when they take off and land. These take off and landing routes change and so the openflights.org data isn't detailed enough for my needs.
