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

Generated 2026-08-24T16:03:53.116Z by site/docs/Planes/following/apis/public_open_source/code/pull_all.js.

Source tried: adsb.lol globe history — https://adsb.lol/globe_history/YYYY/MM/DD/traces/<hh>/trace_full_<hex>.json

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.

Where this page fits​

Wilmington again, and again untestable from free data — row OWENS-009 was marked inaccurate on paid archives, the 404s above for SU-BTT neither support nor contest that, and it is the status most of the sheet's first eighteen months share on the overlap index, at a field whose record shows outbound legs only. The reason to keep publishing pages like this one is that a documented gap is itself evidence about the record-keeping, and this case has a great deal of that — warrants sealed into 2026, a gag order issued on the court's own motion, and the withheld files the Vote page uses to score lawmakers. Then read what a 403 actually means, the page where this site retracts its own published finding that a FlightRadar24 page had been removed — five unrelated control aircraft failed the identical way and the claim did not survive, which is the standard flight data recovery now applies to everything.
