Paris–Le Bourget (LFPB) — October 2022 to October 2025

Every single one of the five Egyptian-registered aircraft in this investigation staged through Paris–Le Bourget on its way into the United States. Eighteen stops are visible in the captured Flightradar24 histories, and every one of them is an overnight.

Le Bourget is the busiest node in this entire dataset after Cairo itself — busier than Provo, busier than Lincoln, on par with Wilmington. It appears in the route string of nearly every row of the spreadsheet behind the 73-overlap claim. And it is in France, a country that appears in none of the geographic clustering claims and against which nobody has alleged anything.

That combination is why this page exists. The most-repeated location in a surveillance claim ought to be the most interesting one. Here it is the least — and understanding why it is boring is the fastest way to understand what the rest of the route template actually is.

The airport​

NameParis–Le Bourget Airport
IdentifiersLFPB (ICAO) / LBG (IATA)
City / CountryLe Bourget, Seine-Saint-Denis, France — about 11 km north-north-east of central Paris
ClassBusiness-aviation airport. It has carried no scheduled commercial passenger service since 1980, when that traffic moved to Orly and Charles de Gaulle. It is generally described as the busiest business-aviation airport in Europe.
Also known forCharles Lindbergh landed here on 21 May 1927. It hosts the Paris Air Show.
Cairo (HECA) → Le Bourget~3,200 km; every logged leg runs 3:56 to 4:22
Le Bourget → US entry field8:03 to 9:58 depending on destination

How unusual is a foreign government jet here​

It is the opposite of unusual. Le Bourget is where they all go.

Le Bourget exists to handle exactly this traffic: state aircraft, heads of government, corporate flight departments and VIP charters moving between the Middle East, Africa and North America. A Cairo-based government Falcon 7X stopping at Le Bourget is the single most predictable thing in this entire flight record.

This matters more than it first appears. The anomaly arguments elsewhere in this section rest on a foreign state jet turning up somewhere it has no business being — a regional field in Utah, a small northern-plains airport in North Dakota. Those arguments only have force if the rest of the routing is ordinary, so that the odd stop stands out against it. Le Bourget is the control condition. Eighteen entirely unremarkable stops are what makes the remarkable ones legible.

What the eighteen stops actually show​

1. The Cairo–Paris leg is the most consistent number in this investigation. Sixteen recorded crossings, and every one of them falls between 3:56 and 4:22. A 26-minute spread across sixteen flights over eleven months is what a fixed airway, a fixed cruise profile and a fixed pair of airports produce. Nothing about it varies with what was happening in the United States.

2. Every westbound stop is an overnight, and only an overnight. The pattern is identical every time: arrive Le Bourget early afternoon, depart the following morning between 9:00 and 11:00. That is a crew-duty stop. A Cairo–Omaha or Cairo–Provo sector flown in one day would exceed flight-time limits for a two-pilot crew; splitting it at Le Bourget with a night stop solves that and nothing else.

3. The Falcons never use Le Bourget on the way home. This is the single most informative fact on the page. Going west, all three Falcon 7Xs stop at Paris. Coming east, all three fly Wilmington → Cairo nonstop, in 9:36 to 11:11 hours. Twelve recorded eastbound crossings, zero Paris stops.

That asymmetry is not a decision about a mission. It is the jet stream. Eastbound across the North Atlantic an aircraft rides a tailwind and the Falcon 7X makes Cairo direct; westbound it fights the same wind and cannot. The route template is shaped by meteorology, not by anybody's calendar — and that is a point that has to be conceded before the September window can be argued honestly.

4. Le Bourget is the one place in the rotation outside American jurisdiction where the aircraft is on the ground for a predictable, published, overnight window. Nobody has asked what happened during any of those eighteen nights, because nobody has looked at France at all.

The Kirk / TPUSA side​

Nothing, on any of the eighteen dates.

Neither Charlie Kirk nor Erika Kirk is placed in France by any source in this investigation, on any date, by anybody. No Turning Point event has ever been held in France. Le Bourget appears in the overlap spreadsheet purely as a waypoint inside a route string — "CAIRO→PARIS→WICHITA", "PARIS→OMAHA→LINCOLN→WILMINGTON→CAIRO" — never as a claimed pairing.

This is a location page with no overlap, and it belongs in the log anyway, for the same reason Detroit does: a location log that only holds the places supporting the claim is a case, not a log.

The one stop that is not like the others​

SU-BND arrived at Le Bourget from Goose Bay on 13 September 2025 and did not leave for Cairo until 15 September. Two nights. Every other stop in the eighteen is a single night.

This is the aircraft that had been parked at Provo for 113 continuous days, that was still on the ramp with its transponder on during the assassination on 10 September, and that departed Utah three days afterwards. Its last stop before home ran twice as long as the fleet norm.

The innocent explanation is the obvious one and it is probably correct: 13 September 2025 was a Saturday and 15 September was a Monday. A weekend layover after a long-haul crossing is the most ordinary thing a business-jet crew does. Slot availability, crew rest after a 10-hour day across five time zones, and handling-agent hours all produce the same result.

It is recorded here because it is an anomaly against this fleet's own pattern, and because nobody else has recorded it. It is not evidence of anything on its own, and this page does not present it as such.

Sourcing​

Everything on this page comes from one class of source, named so it can be checked:

  • Flightradar24 aircraft-history pages for SU-BTT, SU-BND, SU-BTU, SU-BTV and SU-BGM, captured as screenshots and circulated on X by @WeAre_TheElite, then re-posted by @ProjectConstitu on 1 November 2025 as the "five Egyptian military planes" thread. The screenshots carry the tracker's own yellow highlighting on the US legs; the dates, times and airport codes on this page are read from the unhighlighted table text, not from the highlighting.
  • The route strings in the overlap spreadsheet behind the 73 claim, in which Paris appears on nearly every row.
  • The independent audit of that spreadsheet, which repeatedly locates the aircraft in France on dates the sheet places it in America — "The plane was in France from 9/25 until 11/10" — invalidating the three earliest 2022 rows.

None of this is a primary record. It is a third-party ADS-B aggregator's history, read off a screenshot. Le Bourget's own movement logs, French customs records and the handling agents' records have never been requested by anyone.

The counterargument​

There is no allegation on this page to argue against, and that is the point. For completeness, and because these apply to the whole section:

  • Le Bourget is the default European business-aviation stop. Using it is not a choice that requires explanation.
  • The overnight pattern is a flight-time-limitation artefact, not a behaviour.
  • The westbound-only asymmetry is a wind artefact, not a mission profile.
  • The France findings cut against the following claim, hard. A substantial share of the audit's "wrong continent" rejections are rejections because the aircraft was sitting at or near Paris on the date the sheet places it in an American city. The most-repeated location in the dataset is also one of the main reasons the dataset's headline number does not survive review.
  • Eighteen stops, zero pairings. If the aircraft were following a person, the busiest node on its route would not be a place that person never went.

What we do not know​

  1. What happened during any of the eighteen nights on the ground at Le Bourget. Nobody has asked. This is the one point in every rotation where the aircraft sits, outside US jurisdiction, on a published and predictable schedule.
  2. Whether anyone boarded or left at Le Bourget. No manifest for any leg of any of these aircraft has ever been published, at any location, by anyone.
  3. Which handling agent or FBO serviced these aircraft at Le Bourget, and whether the same one was used every time.
  4. Whether SU-BGM's homebound leg from Le Bourget went to Cairo, and on what date. The captured screenshot for that tail ends at the Goose Bay–Paris arrival on 16 April 2025.
  5. Why the 13–15 September 2025 stop ran two nights when every other stop ran one. The weekend explanation fits and has not been confirmed.
  6. What the record looks like before November 2024. The captured Flightradar24 histories do not reach further back for most tails, and the auditor's note on the 2022 rows — "Data doesn't go back this far" — applies to Le Bourget as much as to anywhere else.
