curious... if you wanted to know which flights would have taken off/landed at a given small regional airport on a given day (by a private carrier - could be regular ol citizen or even a corporate jet) is this info easy to obtain? or given the restrictions after 911 it's much harder and you would have to do a FOIA request?

IFR and VFR flight following departures/arrivals are available from a number of sources rather quickly and for a very low cost. In fact, your local Part 135 operator could probably tell you the answer(s) you want. VFR flights not talking to ATC are more difficult and probably not recorded here in the US.

Perhaps the FBO can help. Altho they probably dont keep records of All flights,
they might have logs of arriving and departing a/c that recieved some sort of service.
