Goose Bay (CYYR) — May 2023 to September 2025
SU-BND left the United States on 13 September 2025 — three days after the assassination — and its first stop was a Canadian Forces base in Labrador. It was on the ground there for about fifty minutes.
That sentence contains the only thing about Goose Bay that will make a reader sit up, and the honest answer to it is on this page: fifty minutes is what a fuel stop looks like, and the aircraft that used Goose Bay used it because of what they were, not because of where they had been.
Only the two Gulfstreams ever stopped here. SU-BND and SU-BGM route through Goose Bay; SU-BTT, SU-BTU and SU-BTV — the three Falcon 7Xs — never do, not once, in any direction, in the entire captured record. That is a range split, not a mission split, and it is the single cleanest non-conspiratorial explanation available anywhere in this investigation.
The airport
| Name | Goose Bay Airport |
| Identifiers | CYYR (ICAO) / YYR (IATA) |
| Town / Province | Happy Valley–Goose Bay, Labrador, Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada |
| Class | Joint civil / military field. It is co-located with — and operated in connection with — 5 Wing Goose Bay, a Royal Canadian Air Force wing. It is a Canadian airport of entry with CBSA facilities. |
| History | Built in 1941 as a staging field on the North Atlantic ferry route. Through the Cold War it hosted United States Air Force Strategic Air Command operations and later NATO low-level flight training. |
| Runway | Over 11,000 feet — long enough for the heavy bombers and transports it was built for, and therefore for anything in this fleet. |
| Why anyone stops here | It sits on the great-circle line between north-western Europe and the North American interior, at roughly the point where a range-limited aircraft runs out of fuel. It is the classic North Atlantic technical stop. |
How unusual is a foreign government jet here
Not unusual. Goose Bay handles this traffic every week, and has since 1941.
This is the point at which the "foreign state aircraft on a military installation" framing has to be handled carefully, because it is technically true and analytically weak.
True: Goose Bay is a military-operated field. A foreign government aircraft landing there is landing at a Canadian Forces wing.
Weak: that is the only thing at that latitude with a runway, customs, fuel and 24-hour handling. The base is there because the geography is there. Business jets, ferry flights and airliners on diversions have used Goose Bay as a technical stop for eighty years for one reason, and it is not the base — it is the map.
The Minot argument is different and stronger, because Minot had genuine alternatives and the aircraft chose it anyway four times. Goose Bay has no meaningful alternative. A Gulfstream IV that cannot make Paris from Utah in one leg stops at Goose Bay or it stops at Reykjavík, and that is the whole list.
The foreign side — every recorded movement
| Date | Aircraft | Arrived from | Leg | Departed to | Leg | Time on ground | Direction |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 9 May 2023 | SU-BND | St. Louis | not captured | Paris–Le Bourget | not captured | not captured | Homebound |
| 17 Jul 2024 (claimed) | SU-BND | Provo | — | Paris–Le Bourget | — | — | Homebound — disputed, see below |
| 16 Apr 2025 | SU-BGM | Provo | 4:55, dep 12:14 PM, landed 8:10 PM | Paris–Le Bourget | 5:06, dep 9:16 PM, landed 7:22 AM | ~66 minutes | Homebound |
| 23 May 2025 | SU-BND | Paris–Le Bourget | 5:48, landed 10:08 AM | Minot | 3:44, landed 12:50 PM | ~1 hour | Inbound — start of the 113-day Provo stay |
| 7 Jul 2025 (claimed) | SU-BND | — | — | Paris → Cairo | — | — | Audited false — see below |
| 13 Sep 2025 | SU-BND | Provo | 5:10, dep 12:57 PM, landed 9:07 PM | Paris–Le Bourget | 5:09, dep 9:57 PM, landed 8:05 AM | ~50 minutes | Homebound — three days after the assassination |
Three transits are confirmed in the ADS-B captures. Two more are claimed on the spreadsheet, and one of those two is demonstrably false.
The Gulfstream-only pattern
This is the finding on this page, and it is a finding that works against the surveillance reading rather than for it.
| Tail | Type | Transatlantic routing | Goose Bay stops |
|---|---|---|---|
| SU-BTT | Dassault Falcon 7X | Cairo → Paris → US; Wilmington → Cairo nonstop | 0 |
| SU-BTU | Dassault Falcon 7X | Cairo → Paris → US; Wilmington → Cairo nonstop | 0 |
| SU-BTV | Dassault Falcon 7X | Cairo → Paris → US; Wilmington → Cairo nonstop | 0 |
| SU-BND | Gulfstream IV-SP (1998 airframe) | Paris → Goose Bay → US; US → Goose Bay → Paris → Cairo | 3 confirmed |
| SU-BGM | Gulfstream IV | US → Goose Bay → Paris | 1 confirmed |
The Falcon 7X is a modern long-range trijet; it crosses the Atlantic westbound with a Paris stop for crew-duty reasons and eastbound nonstop from Delaware. The Gulfstream IV is an older, shorter-legged airframe — the SU-BND example is a 1998 build, 27 years old at the time of these flights — and it needs a North Atlantic tech stop that the Falcons do not.
The two aircraft in the 73-overlap tally are one of each. SU-BTT is a Falcon; SU-BND is a Gulfstream. They fly different routes across the Atlantic, and the difference has nothing to do with either Kirk. Anyone reading the route strings as behaviour has to account for that first.
The 13 September 2025 departure
Stated plainly, because it is the reason a reader arrives at this page:
- SU-BND had been on the ground at Provo for 113 continuous days, since 23 May 2025.
- It was still there on 10 September 2025, transponder reportedly on, and it did not take off that day — unlike SU-BTT, which left Provo for Wilmington that morning.
- It departed Provo on 13 September at 12:57 PM, flew 5:10 to Goose Bay, landed 9:07 PM, and was airborne again for Paris at 9:57 PM.
- From Paris it went home to Cairo on 15 September.
A fifty-minute turn is a fuel-and-go. There is no time in fifty minutes to do anything else — the aircraft is refuelled, the crew files, and it leaves. If a reader is looking for a handover, an offload or a transfer, the flight record does not offer one here.
What the record does show is that a foreign state aircraft that had sat in Utah for four months left North America seventy-two hours after the assassination, through a military field, on a Saturday night. Both halves of that sentence are true and neither is evidence without the other. The independent audit marks this departure accurate — one of the small number of rows on the spreadsheet that survives review.
The two claimed transits that are not confirmed
17 July 2024 — "BND leaves for Cairo via Goose Bay and Paris." From the researcher chronology circulated on X. The same audit that examined this period notes that SU-BND had been parked at Provo since 19 April 2024 and left around 12 July — five days before the claimed Goose Bay leg. The routing is plausible; the date is not confirmed and the two accounts disagree. Recorded here unresolved.
7 July 2025 — "GOOSEBAY → PARIS → CAIRO." This appears twice on the spreadsheet, as index 37 and again as index 66, and both are wrong. The auditor's note is blunt: "The plane was in Provo from 5/23 until 9/13" and "ONLY LOCAL FLIGHTS WERE FLOWN IN AND AROUND PROVO FROM 10 JUNE–13 SEPT."
That single row is a compact illustration of what the audit found across the whole sheet: a leg that never happened, entered twice, and counted twice. It is also, awkwardly, a claim that the aircraft left Utah on a date when the aircraft's continued presence in Utah is the strongest fact the following theory has.
The Kirk / TPUSA side
Nothing, on any date.
Neither Kirk has ever been placed in Labrador, or in Canada at all, by any source in this investigation. No Turning Point event has been held there. Goose Bay appears in the overlap material only as a waypoint inside route strings.
This page carries no overlap and is published anyway, on the same rule as Detroit and Paris: the locations that do not support the claim are what make the ones that do worth reading.
The overlap table
| Date | Foreign tail | Movement at CYYR | Kirk / TPUSA side | Gap | Arrived from | Departed to | Confidence |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 9 May 2023 | SU-BND | Tech stop, homebound | none claimed | — | St. Louis | Paris | Audited accurate |
| 17 Jul 2024 | SU-BND | Tech stop, homebound | none claimed | — | Provo (claimed) | Paris (claimed) | Unresolved — audit puts the Provo departure on ~12 Jul |
| 16 Apr 2025 | SU-BGM | ~66-minute turn | none claimed | — | Provo | Paris | ADS-B captured |
| 23 May 2025 | SU-BND | ~1-hour turn, inbound | none claimed | — | Paris | Minot | Audited accurate |
| 7 Jul 2025 | SU-BND | did not occur | none claimed | — | — | — | Audited false, entered twice (index 37 and 66) |
| 13 Sep 2025 | SU-BND | ~50-minute turn, homebound | none claimed | — | Provo | Paris | Audited accurate |
Sourcing
- Flightradar24 aircraft-history screenshots for SU-BND and SU-BGM, circulated by @WeAre_TheElite and re-posted by @ProjectConstitu on 1 November 2025. Times and durations on this page are read from those tables.
- The overlap spreadsheet behind the 73 claim, for the 2023 and 2024 rows.
- The independent audit of that spreadsheet, published as annotated screenshots, which supplies the "in Provo from 5/23 until 9/13" correction and the duplicate-row finding.
None of these is a primary record. Goose Bay's own movement log, Canada Border Services Agency records, and 5 Wing's ramp records have never been requested by anyone in this investigation.
The counterargument
- Goose Bay is the North Atlantic tech stop. Its use by a range-limited aircraft requires no explanation beyond fuel.
- The military co-location is a 1941 artefact. The base is at Goose Bay because the geography suited a ferry route; the civil traffic is there for the same reason.
- Only the Gulfstreams used it, and only the Gulfstreams needed it. If the routing were mission-driven the Falcons would show up here too. They never do.
- A fifty-minute turn is a refuelling stop and nothing longer fits in the time.
- The spreadsheet's Goose Bay rows are among its worst. One is a duplicated leg that never happened; another conflicts with the audit by five days. Goose Bay is a place where the source material demonstrably fails.
What we do not know
- Whether anyone boarded or left any of these aircraft at Goose Bay. No manifest for any leg has ever been published.
- The CBSA records for all three confirmed transits exist and have never been requested.
- What the 9 May 2023 timings were. The audit confirms the routing; no captured screenshot gives departure or arrival times for that transit.
- Whether the 17 July 2024 transit happened at all, and if so on what date.
- Whether SU-BND's fifty-minute turn on 13 September 2025 was fuel only. It fits the time available; it has not been confirmed.
- Whether the fleet used Goose Bay before May 2023. The captured histories do not reach back that far, and the auditor's "Data doesn't go back this far" note on the 2022 rows applies here too.
