23 April 2024 — Salt Lake City, Utah
The pairing, in one sentence
Charlie Kirk did a Prove Me Wrong event at the University of Utah in Salt Lake City on 23 April 2024, and SU-BTT landed at Provo — 45 miles south — at 12:13 pm the same day, while SU-BND had already been parked on that ramp since the 19th.
This is the tightest sourced pairing anywhere in the pre-2025 record. Same day, same metropolitan region, documented on both sides, and the flight leg is marked accurate by the independent audit that dissolved most of the rest of the sheet.
The Kirk / TPUSA side
| Field | Value |
|---|---|
| Date | 23 April 2024 — event date |
| Who | Charlie Kirk — a named, in-person campus appearance |
| Event | "Prove Me Wrong" |
| Venue | University of Utah, Salt Lake City |
| Nearest airport to the venue | Salt Lake City International (KSLC) |
| Distance to the aircraft | ~45 miles from Provo Municipal (KPVU) |
| Source | Researcher-compiled timeline circulated on X, carried in the Provo location page |
| Speaking-event page | 2024-04-23 — Salt Lake City |
Utah is the state in the clustering claim that does not resolve cleanly into a maintenance or customs function — and this is the first Utah date in the record.
The foreign side — two aircraft
| Aircraft | Type | Hex | Arrived Provo | Entered the US via | Departed | Days on ground |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| SU-BND | Gulfstream 4SP | 01003E | 19 April 2024, 3:33 pm | Goose Bay → Salt Lake City | 12 July 2024 (reported) | ~84 |
| SU-BTT | Falcon 7X | 0101D3 | 23 April 2024, 12:13 pm | Paris-Le Bourget → Williston, ND (XWA) | 28 April 2024 → Wilmington | 5 |
Two details in that table deserve to be said out loud:
- SU-BND entered the United States through Salt Lake City International itself — the airport serving the city where the event happened — four days before it, then repositioned to Provo.
- SU-BTT came in through Williston, North Dakota, a small northern field. The audit records it explicitly: index 26, "Acc 4/22-23. Williston code XWA." The North Dakota entry-point pattern that would recur throughout 2025 via Minot starts here.

Why this one survives when the others do not
The line-by-line audit of the overlap spreadsheet is the most damaging document in this whole investigation for the shadowing claim — it puts the aircraft in Egypt on nine claimed Wichita dates, finds duplicate rows counted twice, and invalidates the three earliest 2022 entries outright.
It marks this flight accurate. Both sides of the pairing exist, both are dated, and the aircraft is where the claim says it is.
What that establishes and what it does not:
- Established: an Egyptian-registered Falcon 7X flew Cairo → Paris → Williston ND → Provo and touched down at 12:13 pm on a day Charlie Kirk was speaking 45 miles away, at an airport where a second Egyptian-registered jet was already parked.
- Not established: that anyone aboard knew he was there, that the flight was tasked, or who ordered it. No public record establishes tasking in either direction, and this page does not assert it.
The counterargument
- Duncan Aviation operates a facility at Provo, and the same Egyptian Air Force maintenance relationship that explains Lincoln — a contract trackers themselves date to 1999 — reaches Utah.
- An 84-day stay is a maintenance stay. SU-BND sat at Provo for roughly twelve weeks in 2024, then repeated the pattern with a 113-day stay in 2025. That is a heavy-check duration, not a surveillance posture.
- 45 miles is a different airport in a different county. Provo Municipal is not the airport serving a University of Utah event; Salt Lake City International is, and the Kirk party's own aircraft is undocumented for this date.
- SU-BTT's five-day dwell matches its dwell everywhere else — the same Cairo → Paris → US field → sit five or six days → Wilmington → Cairo rotation it flew at Wichita, Lincoln and St. Louis.
- A single overlap is not evidence. This page exists because it is one date in a claimed pattern. Standing alone it has an innocent reading and a reader who will find it.
What we do not know
- What time of day Kirk spoke. SU-BTT landed at 12:13 pm; without the event time the "same day" cannot be tightened into a sequence.
- Whether either Kirk ever went near Provo. Nothing places Charlie or Erika Kirk at KPVU on any date in this record.
- Who was aboard either aircraft, and what work — if any — was performed during the stays.
- Whether SU-BND's reported 12 July 2024 departure is right. It is carried as reported, not audited.
- Erika Kirk's location on this date is entirely unrecorded. Her flight logs are reported erased, which is why the Erika side of the 73-overlap tally cannot be reproduced from any public source — see Erika flight logs erased.
What people posted on X about this overlap
A dedicated search of X for this overlap — 2024-04-23, Provo, 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-026.
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.

The audit note on this cell
Sheet verdict on this row: accurate. Source of the audit: @KanekoaTheGreat, 15 December 2025.
Tightest sourced pre-2025 pairing: same day, 45 miles, SU-BND already parked since the 19th. Still a regional MRO field (Duncan Provo). Not the same airport as the event (SLC vs Provo).
Compiler note: Williston code XWA. SU-BTT lands Provo 12:13 pm per location page. Ep 256: 'who's in Utah at the same time? Of course, Charlie Kirk... Prove Me Wrong event at the University of Utah.'
More of the same discussion, grouped by research topic rather than by date, is on X discussions of the following planes and Candace Owens broadcasts.
