The visits that land on a sourced event​

Foreign-registered aircraft first, then government, survey and contractor aircraft, then the Kirk and TPUSA fleet; within each band, closest in time to the event first. Every one of these rows also appears, in date order, in the full table below — nothing here is a second sighting.

A row here is an airframe, not a person, and not a purpose. Where the same aircraft has two rows on one date, those are two separate runs of on-ground positions. The gap between them can be a flight out and back, or a parked aircraft the receivers lost for a while; the contact's own page says which the positions show.

One row is one continuous run of on-ground positions. Times are UTC, exactly as the archives recorded them.

What this page cannot tell you​

  • Presence is not purpose, and it is not occupancy. No ADS-B record places any person aboard any aircraft.
  • An absent day is not an absent aircraft. Volunteer receiver coverage is uneven, and a jet parked with its transponder off is invisible. Absence here is a coverage fact.
  • Every count on this page is a count of the aircraft this investigation tracks, not of everything that used the field. Most aircraft at a general-aviation airport are flight-school and charter traffic, and many carry the FAA's ordinary Limiting Aircraft Data Displayed privacy flag, which is a routine owner filing and not a sign of anything.
  • 2022 is thin — the free archives begin in February 2023; before that only ADS-B Exchange's first-of-the-month sample days exist.

Every recorded ground contact at this field, one page each​
