3 April 2024 — Wichita / Lawrence, KS

This page is one row of the overlap sheet that produced the "73 times" figure — reconstructed, sourced, and checked. It is not a finding by this site. It records what the compilation claimed for this date, who it says was there, and what an independent audit of the flight archive found when it looked.

Who was there, according to the sheet​

Charlie Kirk — claimed present. Erika Kirk — not claimed.

QuestionAnswer for this row
Was Charlie Kirk there?Claimed present.
Was Erika Kirk there?Not claimed on this row.
Were they there together?No. Only Charlie is claimed.
Was there a TPUSA event?Yes — Charlie Kirk on the Live Free Tour at the University of Kansas, the same day.
Where was that TPUSA event?Lawrence, Kansas — about 160 miles from Wichita, where the aircraft was parked and from which it departed at 8:43 that morning.
What is the claim resting on?A named Charlie Kirk or Turning Point appearance, checkable against the speaking-events catalog.

What the audit found​

AUDITED PARTIALLY ACCURATE. The audit found part of this row correct and part of it wrong — typically the right aircraft on the right date with the wrong origin, destination, or duration.

The specific note recorded against this row:

Same day, same state, ~160 miles. Aircraft departed Wichita 8:43 am — leaving the state on the morning of the appearance. Audit: accurate-ish, but the plane sat in Wilmington for 2 days.

Counterargument​

  • Duncan Aviation has held the Egyptian Air Force's aircraft maintenance account since 1999, under a relationship documented in the company's own 2015 press release. Its headquarters plant is at Lincoln, Nebraska; it has a second facility at Provo, Utah. Landings at Lincoln, at Omaha (a fifteen-minute hop from Lincoln), at Wichita (Yingling Aviation, an FAA Part 145 Dassault Falcon service centre) and at Provo are all what that relationship produces.
  • The rotation never varies. Cairo → Paris-Le Bourget → a US entry field → a short repositioning hop → sit five to eight days → Wilmington → Cairo. Three airframes flew it identically for three years. A tasking that followed a person would vary with that person's schedule. A shop turnaround does not.
  • Wilmington appears on the outbound leg only, twenty-one times, never inbound. It is a customs and fuel stop being scored as a destination.
  • ADS-B has holes and they cut both ways. A track gap is not proof of a covert leg; a clean track is not proof of intent.
  • The rotations continued after Charlie Kirk's death. SU-BTV flew the identical Lincoln rotation 5–11 October 2025. If the flights were tasked to follow a man, they would have stopped when he died.

What we do not know​

  • Who was aboard. No manifest, FBO log, crew list, or airport badge record has been obtained for any leg of any of these flights, at any location, by anyone.
  • Whether the aircraft entered a maintenance hangar. No Duncan Aviation or Yingling work order or invoice has been produced either — the maintenance explanation is as unevidenced by primary records as the shadowing one.
  • What time of day any event ran. Without event times, "same day" cannot be narrowed into a sequence on any date except 10 September 2025.
  • Which aircraft the Kirk party used. The Kirk side of nearly every row here is a claimed location, not a tail number.

Where this row sits in the whole count​

This is one of 78 reconstructed rows. Across all of them the sheet claims 60 overlaps with Erika Kirk alone, 13 with Charlie Kirk alone, 1 with both of them together, and 4 with a Turning Point event at which neither Kirk is claimed to have been present. Independent audit found the aircraft position correct on 18 rows and wrong on 44. Six dates survive this directory's same-day-or-adjacent test. The arithmetic is set out in full on The 73 overlaps and Overlap dates.

What people posted on X about this overlap​

A dedicated search of X for this overlap — 2024-04-03, Wichita / Lawrence, SU-BTT, Charlie Kirk, Erika Kirk, Egyptian-registered jets, SU-BTT, SU-BND. Posts that name this pairing are quoted in full, with a link back to the post. Unsubstantiated claims, conspiracy theories, corrections, and mockery are all kept. A post being quoted is not a finding by this site. Living people named in the posts are quoted as speakers, not as perpetrators. Tyler Robinson is charged, not convicted. The compressed discussion of the 73/72/70/68/77/1 count dispute is on X discussions.

This page is overlap OWENS-024.

Posts that name this date, this city, or this pairing​

The search did not return a post that names this date and this city together. Public discussion of this row is as a cell inside the 73-count spreadsheet, not as a standalone event. That is itself a finding: most of the tally was never argued flight-by-flight on X. It was counted, screenshot, and then either accepted as 73 or rejected as 66-percent-wrong.

How this row sits in the 73-count argument​

This row is one cell of the spreadsheet Candace Owens displayed on 17 November 2025 ("Operation Mocking-Plane"). The number that travels — 73, 72, 70+, 68/29, 77, or 1 — is argued on X as a total, almost never as this date. The posts that produced those totals:

BREAKING: 73 of the flights of the Egyptian planes coincide with Erika Kirk travel locations. In the case of the assassination, it was there BEFORE Erika got there. What's going on?!

EXPLOSIVE!

The Egyptian military plane was tracking Erika Kirk NOT Charlie Kirk!

Between 2022 and September of 2025, both the blue plane and yellow plane showed 68 overlaps with Erika Kirk's location, including trips she took outside of the country.

Out of those 68 instances, 29 of them included Charlie.

BREAKING: 66% of Candace Owens' Egyptian planes' location claims are wrong.

60% are on the wrong continent.

I rebuilt her spreadsheet. I purchased FlightRadar24 data. I verified it using $950 FlightAware logs.

They need you to believe she is crazy, they are desperate for you to believe that.

72 times those exact planes followed Erika Kirk, not a plane like it, those 2 planes. That is statistically near impossible without intent.
