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 | 2023-06-07 | 404 | overlap OWENS-051 - Wichita KS (audited_inaccurate, audit: inaccurate) |
| SU-BTT | 2023-06-08 | 404 | overlap OWENS-051 - Wichita KS (audited_inaccurate, audit: inaccurate) |
| SU-BTT | 2023-06-09 | 404 | overlap OWENS-051 - Wichita KS (audited_inaccurate, audit: inaccurate) |
Where this page fits
Three empty lookups for SU-BTT in June 2023 back OWENS-051, and they are worth reading precisely because they prove nothing — the free archives served a control basket normally on the same days, so this is a silent airframe rather than a silent archive, and the overlap index files it untested rather than refuted. Refusing to convert silence into a finding is the same rule that governs the drone reports over UVU, the GRAMA admission that no bodycam footage was found and the FBI records still withheld — absence has ordinary explanations and they come first. Then read the Wichita record: the Kansas field these jets kept returning to is the Air Capital of the World and holds an FAA Part 145 Dassault service centre, a competing explanation with paperwork behind it.
