Charlie Kirk's Plane: Why the Record Points to N582MM

N582MM, a 2001 Learjet 60, is the jet that shows up at Charlie Kirk's events. From January 2024 to 9 September 2025 it was heard on the ground within 50 miles of the event city, on the event day, at 30 of the 56 dated events for which the free flight archives hold its record that day. No other tracked aircraft comes close: the next is N79SC, at 10 of 44.

No flight record names a passenger. This page shows which jet was at the airport on his event days, over and over, not that he was aboard it. That is how a plane gets tied to a person when the manifest is private, and it is the same test anyone can repeat with the data linked below.

Status: Charlie Kirk — Deceased (2025).

How the test works​

  • The events. Every row of the speaking catalogue (tpusa_events.csv) with a sourced event date, Charlie Kirk present, and a named US city: 100 events from January 2022 to 9 September 2025. Rows dated only by a podcast release, events that were scheduled and never held, and rows with no city are left out.
  • The aircraft. Seven US jets this investigation tracks near the Kirks: N582MM, N79SC, N102DZ, N560TW, N872RA, N40JD and N888KG.
  • The question. For each event and each jet: was it heard on the ground within 50 miles of the event city on an event day, local time at the field? The answer comes from the free volunteer ADS-B archives (globe.airplanes.live, adsb.lol, and the ADS-B Exchange monthly sample), which were asked about every day from 6 February 2023 to 16 September 2026 for these jets.
  • What counts as an answer. A jet heard at the event, heard on the ground somewhere else that day, or heard that day with no ground contact. A day the archives hold nothing for is not an answer — the jet may have been parked with its transponder off, or outside receiver coverage. Those days are counted separately and never as a miss.
  • Times are the first and last time a receiver heard the jet on the ground. They are close to landing and take-off, but they are not the same thing. Receivers often lose a parked aircraft, so a heard duration is a minimum.

The result, year by year​

"x of y": at the event on x of the y events the archives can answer for that jet.

  • Home fields do not explain it. N582MM is based in the Phoenix area (Phoenix Sky Harbor and Scottsdale are its two busiest fields), and TPUSA is headquartered there. Leaving out every event within 50 miles of those fields, N582MM is still at 28 of the 53 answerable away events in 2024–2025.
  • Four more times it was on the ground near the event city the day before or the day after, but not heard on the day itself.
  • 2022 cannot be tested. The free daily archives begin in February 2023. Before that, only one day a month survives, and it held N582MM on one 2022 event day, somewhere else.

Where it falls short​

The result is strong. It is not complete, and the gaps are part of the record.

  • On 25 answerable event days N582MM was heard on the ground somewhere else — 7 in 2023, 10 in 2024, 7 in 2025 and 1 in 2022. Each is in the table below. On those days he may have travelled some other way — another jet, a charter, a scheduled flight — or appeared remotely, or the receivers missed the stop, or the event date in the catalogue is off by a day. The record cannot say which.
  • 2023 is different. N582MM is at only 2 of 14 answerable events, and the first is 13 September 2023 (San Diego). The aircraft changed hands in 2023: the owner the archives' aircraft database records for it changes from WILDHORSE LLC to TK ENTERPRISES LLC, JRO AVIATION LLC and DOJA CONTRACTING LLC between 21 and 25 June 2023 (adsb.lol), and the current FAA certificate, to DOJA Contracting LLC of Mesa, Arizona, is dated 25 January 2024. Before 13 September 2023 none of the seven tracked jets is at any of his events. His plane in that period is not identified.
  • A plane is not always one person's. N79SC, another Learjet 60 from the same Phoenix area, is at 11 of his events before 10 September. At 8 of them N582MM was there too. Twice, N79SC was at the event while N582MM was heard elsewhere: Las Vegas on 29 January 2024 and Dallas on 20 August 2025. The two jets often moved together — see her plane.
  • Most of N582MM's flying is not at a sourced event. From January 2024 to 9 September 2025 it was heard on the ground on 384 separate days, 288 of them away from the Phoenix area. The sourced Kirk and TPUSA events account for 36 of those days. The catalogue is far from every appearance he made, and the jet may also have flown other people; the record cannot separate the two.
  • On 10 September 2025 it was not N582MM. The Gulfstream V N102DZ, reported as the Kirk family's aircraft, landed at Salt Lake City at 9:23 a.m. (Flightradar24's archived flight record), was heard on the ground there again at 12:58 p.m., and landed at Provo at 3:30 p.m. after a round trip to Scottsdale. N582MM reached Provo at 6:57 p.m., hours after the shooting. That date is in the table but not in any count above. N102DZ is at one other event, for one minute at Las Vegas on 30 January 2024, during a week-long summit in the city; otherwise it appears at Kirk events from September 2025.

So, was N582MM his plane?​

From late 2023 to his death, it was the plane at his events more often than every other tracked aircraft combined. A reasonable reader can call it his usual plane for that period. Three things stop it being more than that: the 25 event days it was elsewhere, the first half of 2023, and the fact that no record places him aboard. TPUSA owns no registered aircraft; N582MM is registered to a private Mesa company, and who chartered or used it on any given day is not public.
