Which Planes Charlie Flew, Which Planes Erika Flew
The following-planes claim rests on a pairing: a foreign-registered jet lands where a Kirk lands. To test it you need both halves — the foreign tail, and the Kirk tail. The foreign half is well documented. This page is about the other half, and about a gap in it that has not been stated plainly anywhere else on this site.
Status: Erika Kirk — Alive. Nothing on this page is a finding of wrongdoing by her or by anyone.
The short version
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Which aircraft is documented for Charlie Kirk? | N102DZ — a 1998 Gulfstream V, s/n 555, 20 seats. FAA-confirmed type. |
| Which aircraft is documented for Erika Kirk, separately from Charlie? | None. No tail number is recorded for her in any sourced row on this site. |
| How many rows in the overlap spreadsheet name a Kirk aircraft? | One of 85 — and that one says UNKNOWN. |
| How was Erika placed at each location, then? | By Instagram posts, not by flight records. See Erika's location from Instagram. |
That last row is the finding. The tally that produced "73 overlaps with Erika Kirk" never established which plane she was on, because it was never built from her flight records. It was built from where she appeared to be.
Charlie Kirk's aircraft — what is actually established
N102DZ is the only aircraft tied to Charlie Kirk's travel by a public flight record in this investigation. The FAA registry resolves what site commentary had left open:
- Type: Gulfstream Aerospace G-V (Gulfstream V) — not "reported to be a G5," but confirmed as one
- Year built: 1998 · Serial number: 555
- Seats: 20 (commentary describing "15–16 passenger capacity" was in the right range)
- Registered owner: Elderberry Chestnut LLC, Cheyenne, Wyoming — also listed: Sunny Blue Sky LLC, UST Enterprises LLC
- Cost to buy new today: ~$58.8 million (see Aircraft Costs)
The documented Charlie Kirk legs are the 10 September 2025 movements: Scottsdale into the Salt Lake City area that morning, and the afternoon legs into Provo. Those are laid out on the N102DZ page and the September 10 flight timeline.
Beyond N102DZ, the overlap research attributes 17 rows to Charlie as the subject, of which 8 are matched to a sourced, dated speaking event — a real event, at a real venue, on the stated day. That is the strongest part of the whole dataset, and it is strong precisely because the events are independently checkable.
Erika Kirk's aircraft — the gap, stated plainly
Across 85 rows of the overlap spreadsheet, 61 name Erika as the subject and 70 mark her as "claimed present." The column that would record which aircraft she flew — kirk_tail — is empty in 84 rows and UNKNOWN in the eighty-fifth.
There is no Erika tail number to publish because the research never produced one. Three separate things follow from that, and they matter in different directions:
- The overlap counts cannot be aircraft-to-aircraft comparisons. They are foreign-aircraft-to-claimed-human-location comparisons. A foreign jet landing at the same airport as a person who was in that city is a weaker coincidence than two aircraft on the same ramp — and only the second was ever claimed.
- The audit results reflect that weakness. Of the rows with a verdict, 44 are marked inaccurate, 21 accurate, 8 partial. The failures cluster on exactly the rows placed by social media rather than by a record.
- It is not evidence she hid anything. Private aircraft manifests are not public for anyone. The absence of an Erika tail number is the normal state of the world for every private flyer in America, which is the entire premise of the proposed disclosure laws.
Erika Kirk publicly invited the check that would close this: she told a camera to go through her flight log. That invitation, and the researchers' claim that the N102DZ history was later removed from FlightRadar24 in May 2026, are documented on Erika Flight Logs Erased and her flight-log invitation.
Can Erika's flights be separated from Charlie's at all?
Yes — but only for a small number of dates, and only by evidence that is not flight data. Four methods exist, in descending order of strength:
- Dates where the two were provably in different places. Where Charlie has a sourced speaking event in one city and Erika has a dated public appearance in another, the itineraries genuinely diverge. Of 139 sourced Turning Point appearances in the speaking catalog, exactly one places Erika at an event before 10 September 2025 with a firm date. One data point is not a travel pattern.
- The overseas legs. The claim that the jets followed her internationally is the only part of the tally that is inherently Erika-specific, because those trips are described as hers alone. It is documented — and its weaknesses are documented — at Erika Overseas Overlaps.
- Her own flight logs, if produced. She has said they exist and invited scrutiny. Nobody has published them.
- N102DZ's full registration and movement history. If the Gulfstream V is the family aircraft, its complete leg history would show which trips it made when Charlie had a documented event elsewhere. That history is the thing researchers say was removed.
None of the four has produced a second tail number. Until one does, "the planes followed Erika" and "the planes followed Charlie" are claims resting on different qualities of evidence, and this site should not present them as if they rest on the same.
What every aircraft in this case would cost new
Both Kirk-associated aircraft sit near the top of the price range in this investigation. The full table for all 35 airframes — Egyptian jets, Army ISR aircraft, government VIP transports, and the private tails — is on Aircraft Costs.
| Aircraft | Associated with | Cost to buy new today |
|---|---|---|
| N102DZ — Gulfstream V | Charlie Kirk's Sept 10 travel | ~$58.8M |
| N582MM — Learjet 60 | described as TPUSA-insider linked | ~$18.4M |
| N560TW — Citation XLS | donor-entity registered | ~$15.5M |
| SU-BTT — Falcon 7X | the "yellow plane" | ~$58–60M |
| SU-BND — Gulfstream G550 | the "blue plane" | ~$58.8M |
Open questions
- Is there any sourced record naming an aircraft Erika Kirk flew on, on any date, independent of Charlie?
- Will the flight log she invited the public to check be produced?
- What is N102DZ's complete registered-owner chain before the 16 October 2025 certificate issue date?
- Do any of the 61 Erika-subject rows survive re-audit once the placement method is changed from Instagram to a record?
Interesting In This Area
- N102DZ is the one tail with a confirmed type on the Kirk side.
- TPUSA Aircraft shows the organisation owns no registered aircraft at all.
- Erika Flight Logs Erased covers the removal claim.
- Aircraft Costs prices every airframe in the case.
Interesting In Other Areas
- Following: location by location is the per-airport version of the tally.
- Overlap window definition explains what counted as an overlap.
- The Fix Laws are aimed squarely at the manifest gap described here.
