1995-1999 gap in flight records - what happened?

The released flight logs have a significant gap. **What we have:** - 1999-2005: Relatively complete - 2005-2011: Sporadic - 2011-2019: Limited **What's missing:** - 1995-1998: Almost nothing - This is the period when operations allegedly began scaling up **Possible explanations:** 1. Different aircraft not covered by FOIA 2. Records destroyed/lost 3. FOIA request didn't cover right agencies 4. Records exist but are being withheld Has anyone filed FOIA specifically for this period? The N908JE wasn't registered until 1999, so maybe a different tail number? FAA records might help identify earlier aircraft.

I've been looking for pre-1999 aircraft registrations. It's like they don't exist.
The FAA historical records might help. They keep aircraft registration histories going back decades.
