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

Generated 2026-08-24T16:03:53.125Z 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 is the gap sheet for 10 September 2025 — Wilmington, the leg SU-BTT flew out of Provo on the day Charlie Kirk was killed; the flight itself is confirmed in the register, and what is listed below is only the surrounding days the archives could not answer for. The Erika Kirk half of that pairing has no archive at all — her flight logs are reported erased — so no recovery route on this site, and none anywhere, can produce the one document that would settle it, which is equally true of the FBI Form 302 interviews and the full autopsy. Wilmington is the page that reframes the whole claim: the most-visited airport in the entire Egyptian fleet record, appearing on the outbound leg only, twenty-one times across three years, never once inbound.
