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 | 2024-03-30 | 404 | overlap OWENS-023 - Wichita KS (audited_accurate, audit: accurate) |
Where this page fits
One 404 sits under a row that stands up: OWENS-023 put SU-BTT 2.27 km from Wichita on 29 March 2024, inbound from Beauvais in France, with both free archives agreeing, the paid audit calling it accurate, and the overlap index recording it as confirmed. It is also one of the thirteen rows where Charlie Kirk rather than Erika Kirk is the person claimed present, which makes it more checkable than most — a public appearance leaves a record, and the Turning Point calendar behind the speaking-events catalog is a document anyone can audit. The payoff is on 3 April 2024 — Lawrence: the same aircraft was still at Wichita when Kirk spoke at the University of Kansas five days later, then departed at 8:43 that morning and flew out of the state.
