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

Generated 2026-08-24T16:03:53.120Z 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

Three covered days and three empty results is the whole finding here, and it is a real one: the free archives held 10, 11 and 12 February 2024 for a control basket and heard nothing from SU-BTT, leaving the Lincoln chapter row neither supported nor refuted inside the overlap index. That result is compatible with a jet parked in a maintenance hangar and with a jet running dark, and this case has no shortage of places where those two readings collide — the transponder claims, the airborne surveillance records withheld over UVU, the drone reports. Read the Lincoln location page: Duncan Aviation has held the Egyptian Air Force's maintenance contract since 1999 and its headquarters plant is on that field, the strongest innocent explanation anywhere in this directory.
