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-BND | 2023-06-24 | 404 | overlap OWENS-052 - Wilmington DE (audited_inaccurate, audit: inaccurate) |
| SU-BND | 2023-06-25 | 404 | overlap OWENS-052 - Wilmington DE (audited_inaccurate, audit: inaccurate) |
| SU-BND | 2023-06-26 | 404 | overlap OWENS-052 - Wilmington DE (audited_inaccurate, audit: inaccurate) |
Where this page fits
These lookups sit under OWENS-052, where 25 June 2023 has no archive coverage at all and the refutation therefore rests on the day before — SU-BND at Cairo West and Helwan, held by the backup network only, nowhere near Delaware, as the overlap index records. The row says plainly that it does not rest on the gap, and that plainness is the point: this investigation has already had to retract a removal claim built on a refusal, a lesson that applies equally to foreign flight records withheld and filings sealed until 2026. Wilmington is the hook: it is the most-visited airport in the entire fleet record, appearing on the outbound leg only, twenty-one times in three years, never once inbound.
