Omaha, Nebraska — 2024

In 2024 the overlap record holds 6 claimed overlaps at Eppley Airfield (KOMA), on 6 separate dates. Erika Kirk is claimed present on 4 of them — which is why this field-year has a page at all.

Of those 6 rows, 1 were checked against recovered ADS-B position data and put the airframe at or over this field, and 1 carry a measured clock time below. The rest were checked and the archives held nothing — which is not the same as the aircraft being elsewhere.

Nothing here places any person aboard any aircraft. These are aircraft positions and claimed locations, and the two are different kinds of thing.

The town and the field

An operation is one takeoff or one landing, so a visiting jet that arrives and departs counts twice. At KOMA that works out to roughly 296 operations a day. Traffic figures: Wikipedia, citing FAA and the airport authority. They are not from this repo, which holds no traffic data.

Is a foreign state jet unusual here? NOT unusual on its own. Eppley is a customs port of entry; it is exactly where an inbound foreign aircraft should clear.

Where the clock times come from

There is no time column anywhere in the source data. overlaps.csv and flights.csv carry dates only. Every time on this page was measured for it, point by point, out of the raw ADS-B traces held in this repo under <TAIL>/data/recovered/ — the same files the ADS-B verdicts were computed from. Local times are the field's own local clock; UTC is given beside each so nothing turns on a timezone.

1 of the 6 rows produced a measured time. The other 5 did not, because no archive holds a trace for that airframe on that date.

A blank is not a finding. Parked with the transponder off, outside volunteer receiver coverage, and a wrong claimed date all look identical from here.

What this page does and does not show

  • A trace proves presence, never purpose, and never occupancy. No archive anywhere puts Charlie Kirk, Erika Kirk or anyone else aboard any of these aircraft. Erika Kirk's itinerary is the missing document — see Erika Kirk flights.
  • "Claimed present" is a claim, not a record. It is a cell on the reconstructed sheet, and on that sheet the location is often a state rather than a field. See the overlap window definition.
  • 4 of these 6 rows were audited inaccurate and are shown anyway. They are part of the record of what was claimed, and dropping them would misrepresent how much of the claim survived.
  • Repetition at a field is a reason to look, not a conclusion. Fields host maintenance, customs and fuel stops, and a jet can return to one for entirely ordinary reasons.
