Claimed flights we could NOT retrieve a primary ADS-B trace for

Source tried: adsb.lol globe history —

This is the only free, no-account source of historical ADS-B tracks we have found. It serves only what its volunteer feeder network actually received.
WHAT AN EMPTY RESULT DOES AND DOES NOT MEAN. A 404 here means adsb.lol holds no
trace for that airframe on that UTC day. It does not establish that the aircraft
did not fly, and it does not establish that a transponder was switched off. The
ordinary explanations come first: the aircraft was parked and silent, it flew outside
volunteer receiver coverage (most of the Atlantic, most of North Africa, much of the
rural US at low altitude), or the claimed date is simply wrong. Several of the rows
below are already recorded in overlaps.csv as audited inaccurate.
The claim is what is listed. The absence is what we found. Neither is proof.
| Tail | UTC date | HTTP | Why we looked |
|---|---|---|---|
| SU-BTT | 2022-12-19 | 404 | overlap OWENS-006 - St. Louis MO (audited_accurate, audit: accurate) |
| SU-BTT | 2022-12-20 | 404 | overlap OWENS-006 - St. Louis MO (audited_accurate, audit: accurate) |
| SU-BTT | 2022-12-21 | 404 | overlap OWENS-006 - St. Louis MO (audited_accurate, audit: accurate) |
Where this page fits
The audit upheld row OWENS-006 on paid data; the 404s above only record that the free archives cannot reach December 2022 to agree or disagree, and the St. Louis airport page carries the Missouri cluster this date opens, with the row indexed alongside every other on the overlap index. Missouri matters more than most states in this record because it holds the closest documented Kirk-side pairing, and pairings are where the aircraft thread touches the rest of the case — Turning Point's own organizational history, the faith tour and pastor network, and the donor and political pressure that shaped where he spoke. Follow it to 2 April 2023 — Jefferson City, where TPUSA Faith launched its tour the day after SU-BTT landed at St. Louis — and where the page then measures the drive and finds 130 miles between them, rather than letting the date do the arguing for the 73 overlaps tally.
