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

Generated 2026-08-24T16:03:53.122Z 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​

This gap file belongs to row OWENS-031, which the audit found to be one half of a duplicated pair, since row OWENS-061 carries the same date and city, so the empty archive results are recorded twice for one claimed movement that the audit placed in Egypt anyway and that sits beside every other tested row. A mechanical double-count is not a lie, but it inflates a public figure, and public figures in this case travel fast and get corrected slowly, the same pattern behind the disputed impact minute, the competing accounts of where Charlie Kirk was struck, and the arguments about what the ballistics actually showed. Read the Wichita arrival log next, because an FAA Part 145 Dassault Falcon service centre at the field these Falcon 7X jets keep returning to is a documented commercial reason for the whole Kansas cluster, and it is the strongest counterargument the following claim has to beat before any of it reaches the disclosure-law argument.
