I finally got some time to make a graphic which should help to explain the "ADS-B Exchange" site map/plot that started the whole "JE in Antarctica" thing. The ADS-B Exchange site uses data contributed by volunteer people using ground based radio receivers...this data is subject to "spurious" or "error" data bits/points. It happens all the time...to show this I picked out 3 random aircraft that flew today and all 3 plots from "ADS-B Exchange" have "bad data" (points) on them as seen in my graphic:

As you can see, all 3 of the random aircraft I plotted using the "ADS-B Exchange" data show bad data points and "interpolated" yellow route lines connecting to the bad data points.
So based on my research I would say that JE's Gulfstream IV (tail # N120JE) didn't get anywhere near Antarctica on July 23rd, '19. It DID go from the Wyoming area to Atlanta tho.. He does have a 2nd jet (Gulfstream V tail # N212JE) that I didn't look up for tracking.

A second big point against a covert trip to Antartica is the fact that the onboard ADS-B transceiver can be switched off at will (mandated to be "On" next year in controlled airspace in IFR flight), so if it was a "hush-hush" flight to Antarctica, then it would have most certainly been turned "Off" by the pilots. Air Force planes regularly switch off their ADS-B transmitters for security purposes.
Plus, there is the logistics of landing a plane on ice at an Antarctic station in Winter. (Weather planning & permissions from the govt.)...although the "deep state" could handle that I suppose. The "no skis STC" for Gulfstream IV's comment I posted upthread was sorta "tongue in cheek" but is a consideration for a Winter ice landing.

I have not read any posts about "duplicate tail #'s", but I am an FAA licensed A&P mechanic so I could do some "semi-informed" :-) research in that area if need be.

P.S.: if you want to duplicate my research, pick a random flight from FlightRadar24.com and plug the "N-number/reg. #" or "ICAO #" into https://flight-data.adsbexchange.com and pick a date for the plane's flights (Florida/U.S. V.I./South America flights are best).

WOW! THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THAT VERY SPECIFIC RUN DOWN OF THE DATA, DRAGO!

FReeQs who have not seen Drago’s post 1222 should do so, if they are interested in the topic of the rumor of JE’s plane going to Antarctica.

It is looking less likely that JE’s plane went to the Antarctic. IMHO, the “twitter rumor” reported in the initial post by Melian is probably false. Note: neither she nor generally ever pushed the rumor about the plane as true. They did as FReeQs do: they began asking questions and opened the discussion.
