Other Planes Activity Timeline (N888KG, SAM Flights, Cluster)

This timeline covers every aircraft layer in the case except two. The Army-contracted ISR jet has its own N1098L activity timeline, and the Egyptian Falcon has its own SU-BTT movements timeline. What is left over is still substantial: a private jet that went dark after the shot, two U.S. government Special Air Mission flights in and out of an Army intelligence post, a five-jet Egyptian cluster parked at Provo, and a stack of business jets that landed at Provo Municipal in the hours after the shooting. Times are MDT unless marked otherwise, and every entry below is a reported or tracked claim, not a finding.

The Timeline​

Spring and summer 2025 — the pattern before the week​

  • May 27, 2025 — The Egyptian-registered jet SU-BTU flies into Provo Municipal Airport (PVU), roughly seven miles from UVU, reportedly carrying a passenger identified in compilations as "Walid" (Walid Mahmoud) — the earliest entry in the Egyptian armada sequence and the reason researchers argue the September stop was not a one-off.

  • June 2, 2025 — The same passenger reportedly departs Provo, closing a roughly six-day Egyptian presence at PVU three months before the shooting.

  • July 20, 2025 — Flight-tracking compilations date SU-BTT's first-ever U.S. trip to a Nebraska Army installation, the anchor of the separate July 20 military meeting timeline and the Nebraska Army base page.

  • Across 2025 — Raw flight logs circulated by citizen investigators claim five Egyptian Air Force jets touched Provo during the year: SU-BTT, SU-BND, SU-BTU, SU-BTV and SU-BGM. Screenshot tables (e.g. @ProjectConstitu / @WeAre_TheElite) list additional Provo touch dates across February–October 2025 beyond the May–September bullets below. Skeptics reply that VIP government jets routinely rotate through maintenance-capable fields and that the "armada" framing is a tally, not a finding.

  • August 22–27, 2025 (ADS-B claims) — Commentators (@furbiddentruths and others) report Kirk's aircraft N102DZ sat on the ground in Bozeman, Montana between a late-August Defense Intelligence Agency leadership change (search-trend context on DIA search patterns) and TPUSA's public announcement of the fall campus tour with UVU as the first stop. Correlation only; no public flight purpose is disclosed.

September 4–9 — the pre-event week​

  • Sept 4, 2025 — SU-BTT arrives at Provo direct from France and stays through the event window, the fact that generated the Egyptian jets at Provo page. Citizen compilations also place SU-BND in the same Provo window, with one jet departing before the shot and one after in some accounts.

  • Sept 4–10, 2025 — Sources described as connected to Duncan Aviation claim 4–6 subcontractors with Egyptian passports boarded, that their badges read "U.S. Department of Defense Liaison," and that counter-UAS (anti-drone) equipment was tested at Provo across this window — the allegation catalogued on the counter-UAS at Provo page. No manifest confirming any of it has been released.

  • Sept 4–10, 2025 (unconfirmed) — The same threads name passengers "Maj. Ahmed Khalil" and "Eng. Omar Nassar," allege no-scan priority Provo tower handling, and cite a UVU-area maintenance eyewitness of Egyptian-crew drone/tech testing on Sept 8. The posters themselves label the passenger names unconfirmed; none appear in released FAA or court records.

  • Sept 4–10, 2025 — The same threads place the visiting crew at a hotel in Orem, per the Egyptian crew hotel page, and allege four rental vehicles were issued through Duncan Aviation to unidentified passengers — the plates tracked on the rental cars and vehicle movements timeline.

  • Sept 7, 2025 — The Air Force VIP jet tail 99-0404 flies Joint Base Andrews to Colorado Springs, the first leg of the route reconstructed on the SAM 99-0404 page.

  • Sept 8, 2025 — 99-0404 flies Colorado Springs to Tucson, then departs Tucson roughly five hours later, after which trackers say the transponder appears to go off — a gap the SAM-702 Fort Huachuca claim page treats as the most contested link in the chain.

  • Sept 8, 2025 — The investigation file places roughly 12 lieutenant colonels at Fort Huachuca, Arizona — the U.S. Army Intelligence Center — the gathering described on the Fort Huachuca Sept 9 page and in the Fort Huachuca military timeline.

  • Sept 9, 2025 — 00:49 — Per the file's own timeline entry, SAM702 departs. Candace Owens separately describes the SAM-702 VIP flight as leaving Fort Huachuca on the morning of September 9 with four passengers. Which clock reading is correct has never been reconciled.

  • Sept 9, 2025 — Owens names Bradley D. Hansell — described as Under Secretary of War for Intelligence and Security — as one of those four passengers. Hansell is a living public official; no wrongdoing by him is alleged or established, and travelling on a government VIP flight is ordinary for that office. His reported earlier career at Boston Consulting Group is why commentators fold the flight into the Israel thread.

  • Sept 9, 2025 — 12:31 PM — 99-0404 flies Fort Huachuca to El Paso, then El Paso back to Joint Base Andrews, closing the loop.

  • Early September 2025 — The callsign SAM650 appears in the same compilations on a Wilmington → Andrews → Nashville itinerary with what posters call "Colorado Springs syncs." No tail number has ever been attached to it, which is the single largest gap on that page.

  • Sept 9–13, 2025 (claims) — Compilations (e.g. @ProjectConstitu, crediting @nihilox) track NetJets callsign EJA685 (N685QS) near the El Paso / Biggs window associated with the SAM chain and a short Salt Lake City → Las Vegas hop after the SU-BTT departure narrative — offered as a possible passenger-swap leg. No passenger manifest supports any swap; living NetJets operators are not accused of wrongdoing.

  • Sept 9, 2025 — Google Trends shows the tail number n888kg being searched in Utah — the day before the shooting, and before that aircraft had done anything newsworthy. The planes search-pattern page records it; nothing establishes who searched, or why. Separate Fort Huachuca Google image-search prep claims (high-level names searched before the SAM window) live primarily on the Fort Huachuca military timeline.

September 10 — morning​

  • ~7:00 AM (skeptic clock) — Some posters assert an Egyptian-registered jet left Provo about five hours before the shot (@AuburnJPJ and others), arguing the Egyptian cluster proves presence and maintenance rotations, not operational timing around 12:23. Track this early-departure rebuttal beside the mid-morning power-up claims below.

  • ~9:05 AM — One of the parked Egyptian jets at Provo Municipal reportedly powers up, then drops off tracking — the start of the anomaly described on the Sept 10 flight timeline.

  • ~9:30 AM — Charlie Kirk's aircraft N102DZ is reported to land at Salt Lake City International, roughly 45 miles north of UVU, rather than at Provo seven miles away. Candace Owens flagged that diversion in her November 17, 2025 "Operation Mocking-Plane" episode.

  • Morning — The contract survey aircraft N59906, a Piper Navajo operated by MARC Inc., reportedly flies four mapping passes beginning and ending at Provo at roughly 19,000 feet MSL. Early posts labelled these "low-altitude"; the N59906 page corrects that — it is a standard high-altitude mapping band, not a treetop pass.

  • ~10:06 AM — N560TW lands at Provo from Scottsdale. Some posts instead give ~10:26 AM; the N560TW turnaround page preserves both readings.

  • ~11:37 AM — N560TW departs Provo for Santa Barbara after roughly ninety minutes on the ground — the turnaround that first drew Candace Owens' attention. Some posts treat the tail as almost exclusively TPUSA-associated travel; that ownership/use pattern is commentary, not a court finding.

  • ~12:44 PM — N560TW is reported back on the ground at Scottsdale, about twenty minutes after the shot at UVU.

  • Afternoon (disputed tarmac narrative) — Citizen ADS-B readings (@hurtfeelingzday and others) claim N560TW left a Santa Barbara gate roughly fourteen minutes after the UVU shot — too soon, they argue, for a cold aircraft to be staged for a Provo recovery — and that Andrew Kolvet's tarmac-hug account fits Scottsdale, not Provo. That conflicts with other Provo-arrival narratives for N872RA / N102DZ. Attribute flight-app disputes only; no wrongdoing is alleged.

September 10 — afternoon, the Provo arrival stack​

  • 12:27 PM MST — N40JD, a six-seat Beechcraft Premier 1, departs Scottsdale. The clock collision with the disputed 12:27 PM shot time is a time-zone coincidence, not evidence — see Shooting Time Disputes.

  • ~1:11–1:20 PM — N888KG, a Bombardier Challenger 300 registered to an LLC in Lehi, Utah, departs Provo heading southeast — roughly 45 minutes to an hour after the shot. The entity is profiled on the N888KG LLC page, which alleges no wrongdoing by its owners.

  • ~1:29 PM — The Egyptian jet that powered up at 9:05 AM is described as back on tracking and idling on the tarmac to this point, having reactivated roughly 17 minutes after the shot, per the Sept 10 flight timeline.

  • ~1:43 PM — N888KG's ADS-B transponder goes dark near the northern Arizona border, opening a gap trackers report as 30 to 50-plus minutes.

  • ~1:48 PM — N888KG is reported to land at Page Municipal Airport (PGA), Arizona.

  • ~2:29 PM — N40JD lands at Provo, per the flight-record screenshots circulated by investigators. A competing figure of ~4:40 PM appears elsewhere on this site — see the conflicts table.

  • ~2:30 PM — N888KG departs Page for the return leg. The owner is reported to have stated that no one disembarked at Page and that seven company employees boarded there for the trip home.

  • ~3:06 PM — N888KG lands back at Provo. No public flight plan is associated with the dark leg, which trackers label a "ghost flight."

  • ~3:31 PM — N102DZ, Kirk's own aircraft, lands at Provo after a Scottsdale departure. Candace Owens argues this is the only tail whose timing lets Erika Kirk reach the hospital by the 4:00 PM that Frank Turek stated on the record.

  • ~4:36 PM — N872RA, a Hawker Beechcraft that left Santa Barbara at ~2:19 PM, lands at Provo. This is the Santa Barbara inbound the tarmac-hug account depends on, and the reason the "4:40 PM Kolvet plane" label is contested below. Andrew Kolvet is a living person and nothing here alleges wrongdoing by him.

  • Afternoon — Aircraft are described as clustering on the Duncan Aviation ramp at Provo after the 3:30 PM landings, with SU-BND reported still parked and running.

  • Late evening Sept 10 – ~2:00 AM Sept 11 (claims) — @PBI_CarrieQuinn and others flag air ambulance N315NG departing Provo late on the 10th and landing the Phoenix/Scottsdale area around 2:00 AM on the 11th. Separate fringe body-preservation theories attach to this tail; ADS-B presence and purpose remain unconfirmed in official releases. Living persons named in those threads are not accused of wrongdoing here.

September 11 and after​

  • Sept 11, 2025 — SU-BTT departs the United States for Egypt, per the SU-BTT movements timeline.

  • Sept 15, 2025 — The scene-changes timeline records ground-level alterations at UVU; some posts also date an N59906 survey flight to this day rather than September 10, an unresolved date conflict noted on that page.

  • Late 2025 — Compilations claim two Egyptian jets appear near Erika Kirk's travel 73 documented times, the tally examined on the following Charlie and Erika page. Critics including Liz Wheeler argue such overlap counts rely on loose matching criteria and on UTC-versus-local time-zone errors.

  • Nov 17, 2025 — Candace Owens publishes "Operation Mocking-Plane," pulling the airport-diversion and flight-overlap arguments into wider circulation — tracked on the Candace Owens timeline.

  • 2026 — The transport aircraft used after the funeral is documented on the casket flight page. No flight record for any aircraft on this page has been produced through the court process tracked on the discovery and evidence timeline.

Conflicts and Disputed Points​

PointVersion AVersion BWho asserts what
N40JD Provo arrival~2:29 PM, per the flight-record screenshots on the N40JD page~4:40 PM, per the Sept 10 flight timeline, which labels it the Kolvet-associated arrivalThe 4:40 PM figure may be a restatement of N872RA, the ~4:36 PM Santa Barbara inbound. The tarmac-hug argument works only on the later time
N888KG departure~1:11–1:20 PM, matching the "45 minutes to an hour after" descriptions~7:12 PM, as written once in the master fileThe N888KG page treats the early-afternoon times as internally consistent and flags 7:12 PM as an error

Open Questions​

  1. Who filed, and who paid for, the N888KG leg that carried no public flight plan, and do FAA strips confirm the owner's account of the Page stop?
  2. What tail number flew under the SAM650 callsign, and what was its manifest?
  3. Do Fort Huachuca flight strips and visitor logs confirm or refute the SAM-702 passenger list, and who booked the trip?
  4. What did the N59906 survey cameras record over the UVU campus, who tasked the flight, and on which date did it actually fly?
  5. Do Duncan Aviation ground-handling, fuel and rental-car records exist for the Egyptian aircraft across September 4–10, and do they name the passengers?
  6. Which aircraft carried Erika Kirk into Utah on September 10 — the ~3:31 PM N102DZ or the ~4:36 PM N872RA?
  7. Was n888kg searched in Utah on September 9 by a person with prior knowledge, or is the spike an artifact of how Trends aggregates rare queries?
  8. Who flew EJA685 / N685QS near the El Paso and Salt Lake windows, and do any manifests support a passenger-swap claim?
  9. Does ADS-B archive confirm N315NG's late Sept 10 Provo departure, and what was its filed purpose?
  10. Does any primary source confirm the unconfirmed Egyptian passenger names and no-scan tower claim?

Laws (Charlie Kirk)​

  • The FAA flight strips and filed plans for N888KG's September 10 legs, the passenger manifests for SAM-702 and SAM 99-0404, the tail number behind the SAM650 callsign, the Fort Huachuca visitor and base-access logs, the Duncan Aviation handling and rental-car records for the Egyptian aircraft at Provo between September 4 and 10, the imagery captured by the N59906 survey passes, and the unredacted ADS-B and MLAT archives for the Provo terminal area that week are things that the Charlie Kirk Investigation Laws may result in powerful truths coming out that aren't out yet.
