Flight Log Transcription Audit, Page 1
What This Image Shows
An audit page headed Flight Log Transcription, Page 1, checking eleven circulating claims numbered 30 through 40 against the records. Most carry a red cross.
Entries include: "30 - 12/8/24 - SU-BND. Route: Provo - Paris - SLC. Status: Incorrect - in Cairo." "31 - 1/12/25 - SU-BTT. Route: Paris - Wichita - Cairo. Status: Incorrect - in Cairo." "32 - 1/17/25 - SU-BTT. Route: Paris - Wichita. Status: Incorrect - in Cairo." "33 - 3/15/25 - SUBTT. Route: Wichita - Cairo. Status: Incorrect - in Cairo." "34 - 3/22/25 - SUBTT. Route: Wichita - Wilmington - Cairo. Status: Incorrect - in Cairo." "35 - 5/23/25 - SU-BND. Route: Lands in Provo. Status: Correct." "36 - 6/18/25 - SUBTT. Status: Incorrect - in Cairo."
This page is the first half of the correction exercise and it is unusually blunt: of the eleven entries checked, most are wrong, and the reason given repeatedly is that the aircraft's own log places it in Cairo on the claimed date. The regional flight lists preserved elsewhere in this cluster are the source that establishes those Cairo dates.
The honest conclusion is that the widely shared count of Egyptian flights to United States cities is inflated, while a smaller set -- including the May 23 Provo landing and the September 10 departure -- survives checking.
