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

Generated 2026-08-24T16:03:53.110Z 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

The Jefferson City page is unusual in this directory because it has a confirmed SU-BTT trace behind it and still declines to call the date an overlap — the jet is at St. Louis, the TPUSA Faith tour launch is 130 miles and two hours' drive west, and the row page says so before it says anything else. That is the standard worth carrying into the rest of the case, where proximity is routinely treated as connection: the claims built on Google Trends geography, the inferences drawn from foreign-registered phones near the site, the organizational links assembled in the Companies section. For the arithmetic version of the same discipline, Turning Point events with the aircraft record beside them checks 139 sourced appearances date by date and finds exactly one placing Erika Kirk at an event before 10 September 2025 with a firm date — and her flight logs are reported erased, so even that one cannot be corroborated from her side, a limit the overlap index repeats on every row.
