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

Generated 2026-08-24T16:03:53.124Z 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​

The three empty lookups here belong to row OWENS-034, a 22 March 2025 Wichita claim already recorded as inaccurate, so this file documents a limit of the free archives rather than a discovery, which is how every gap report in this directory is meant to be read alongside what a 403 actually means. The sheet moves on after this date but the underlying question does not, because no manifest, FBO log, crew list or badge record has ever been obtained for any leg of any of these flights, which puts the aircraft thread in the same category as the withheld foreign-nexus material, the sealed forensic record, and the reportedly halted intelligence review. End at Flight Data Recovery, where sixteen aircraft were checked against four free backup routes, one genuine page removal was found and one loudly published removal claim had to be retracted after a control test, and the retraction is the most useful thing on it, more useful than the total this row belongs to or the claims still circulating about it.
