Flight log analysis: Most frequent destinations 1998-2005

I wrote a script to parse all the released flight logs and create frequency analysis. Here are the top destinations for N908JE: | Destination | Code | Count | |-------------|------|-------| | St. Thomas, USVI | TIST | 127 | | Teterboro, NJ | TEB | 203 | | Palm Beach, FL | PBI | 89 | | Santa Fe, NM | SAF | 34 | | Paris, France | LFPB | 28 | Teterboro is high because it's the departure/return point for NYC trips. The Santa Fe frequency surprised me - anyone know why that location specifically? Raw data and methodology in comments.

Santa Fe trips are interesting. That's where he had the Zorro Ranch property. Less well-known than the island but significant.

Zorro Ranch is 10,000 acres in New Mexico. There were allegations of similar activities there. The property is mentioned in several victim testimonies.

The Paris frequency is notable too. The LFPB code is Le Bourget Airport - that's where private jets go in Paris. Avenue Foch apartment would be the destination.

Can you share the script/methodology? I'd like to verify the numbers.

Here's my GitHub repo with the parsing scripts: [link] Used Python with pandas. The flight logs are inconsistent in format (handwritten vs digital) so there's some manual verification involved. Error rate is probably 2-3%.
