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

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
These lookups sit under the strongest pre-2025 pairing on the site, and what they show is that the free archive held nothing for SU-BND across 22 to 24 April 2024 even though the aircraft was demonstrably parked at Provo, a plain illustration of why this investigation refuses to read a 404 as a removal. The control test that keeps that rule honest is the same discipline missing from most of the case's public argument, where claims about withheld records, halted foreign leads and sealed evidence get flattened into one story by people who never ran a control. Go to Overlap Recovery next, where every testable aircraft-and-date pair in the sheet was run against both free daily archives, and which names the dates that now have a primary trace and the ones that never will without the paid history that the disclosure laws are written to reach past.
