American Comeback Tour — University of South Florida (first 2025 campus stop)
Charlie at University of South Florida (Tampa, FL) on 2025-02-20. Date certainty: this is a sourced event date, not a podcast-release proxy.
The pairing, in one sentence
This page records a TPUSA / Charlie Kirk speaking appearance so the following-pattern can be tested against a real location, not a guessed one. It is not itself an overlap with SU-BTT or SU-BND. One campus stop is not evidence of shadowing; the claim, if any, is the repetition across many stops.

What the sources say
EVENT DATE Feb 20, 2025. First stop of the spring American Comeback Tour. Replaces the 2025-03-11 and 2025-04-01 USF podcast-proxy rows as the live date (those episodes are delayed releases from this visit unless a second USF date is sourced).
What we do not know
ADS-B holes, erased Erika logs, and podcast-proxy dates all cut against a clean overlap table. If the date certainty above is PODCAST_PROXY, do not publish a "same day as a foreign jet" claim off this row. If the city is UNKNOWN or AMBIGUOUS, do not fill it from memory.
This is not an overlap claim
A documented speaking date is the Kirk / TPUSA side of a pairing. The foreign side lives in flights.csv and on the location pages under Following. Innocent explanations for any one pairing — maintenance hubs, diplomatic travel, a tracker misreading a nearest-public-airport label — are stated on those pages, not waived here.
