I heard that commercial flight logs are publicly available from the FAA, including mechanical delay reasons, etc. Is this true? If so, where can this information be found?

Under the Freedom of Information Act you can request these records from the FAA. Please read more about doing so here: http://www.faa.gov/foia/foia_request/

I believe Flight Aware allows you to view filed flight plans. It also lets you know where the aircraft is in-flight, although I am not sure how accurate that information is.

Yes, I did find my flight on that site, but no other information was available other than the takeoff/landing time. – atw527 Aug 15 '14 at 16:43
