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

Generated 2026-08-24T16:03:53.123Z 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​

These lookups cover row OWENS-062, a claimed Paris to Omaha to Cairo rotation the audit placed in Egypt, and the 404s recorded here are what a volunteer receiver network looks like over the rural Midwest in winter, not a finding, and filed the same way as every other gap report in this directory. February 2025 is also when SU-BTV was arriving at Detroit as an entry point for onward hops to Lincoln and Wichita, a documented movement with no Kirk pairing ever offered for it, the sort of unclaimed fact a count built only from hits will never contain and that the disclosure laws would put on the record properly. Read Per-Aircraft Recovery Status next, one section per tail saying what every source still holds and how far back it reaches, and where the 2022 window sits that no free archive can reach, the single largest hole in the whole following claim.
