SU-BND Playback: Provo to Provo
What This Image Shows
A Flightradar24 playback card for SU-BND, the second Egyptian-registered aircraft in this thread. The header reads "Playback of flight suBnD," FROM Provo (PVU), TO Provo (PVU), ACTUAL FLIGHT TIME 1:08, TIME 6:04 PM UTC. Aircraft is a Gulfstream 4SP, registration SU-BND, SERIAL NUMBER (MSN) 1332. Telemetry reads barometric altitude 0 FT, ground speed 0 KTS, track 236 degrees, squawk 0000. Someone has drawn a red circle around the registration field.
A flight that departs and returns to the same field, running just over an hour, is the pattern researchers have flagged across this fleet -- local circuits rather than point-to-point transport. Similar Provo-to-Provo legs appear in the flight logs for SU-BGM preserved in the 5 Planes sub-cluster.
Investigators tracking this aircraft report that it stayed in the Provo area after SU-BTT departed and left several days later via Goose Bay and Paris. Local flights of this kind have ordinary explanations -- maintenance test flights, crew currency, positioning -- none of which have been confirmed or ruled out, because no operator statement or manifest has been released.
See SU-BND for the written analysis and Egyptian Armada for the fleet-wide picture.
