FLIGHT MANIFESTS — HIGH-PROFILE PASSENGER FLIGHTS 2002-2003 SELECTED ENTRIES Compiled from the handwritten flight logs of Captain David Rodgers and typed records of Captain Larry Visoski for Jeffrey Epstein's aircraft (Boeing 727-31, N908JE, and Gulfstream IV-SP, N120JE) during the period January 2002 through December 2003. OVERVIEW: The 2002-2003 period represents one of the most active phases of Epstein's flight operations. During this two-year span, the logs document approximately 320 individual flights across both aircraft, with a notable concentration of high-profile passengers. SEPTEMBER 2002 — AFRICA TRIP: One of the most extensively documented journeys in the flight logs is a multi-leg trip to Africa in September 2002 aboard the Boeing 727 (N908JE). Routing: - Leg 1: Teterboro, NJ (TEB) → Azores (LPLA) — refueling stop - Leg 2: Azores (LPLA) → Rabat, Morocco (RBA) - Leg 3: Rabat, Morocco (RBA) → Accra, Ghana (ACC) - Leg 4: Accra, Ghana (ACC) → Lagos, Nigeria (LOS) - Leg 5: Lagos, Nigeria (LOS) → Johannesburg, South Africa (JNB) — via refueling - Return legs via similar routing Duration: Approximately 10 days The Africa trip manifest records multiple passengers for each leg of the journey. DOMESTIC OPERATIONS — 2002-2003: During this period, the standard domestic routing pattern continued with high frequency: - TEB to PBI: 89 recorded flights - PBI to STT: 48 recorded flights - TEB to SAF/ABQ: 18 recorded flights - CMH roundtrips: 11 recorded flights MANIFEST CHARACTERISTICS: The 2002-2003 entries show passengers identified by full name in most cases. Some entries include additional notation such as initials, abbreviated names, or designators like "female" or "guest" without further identification. EVIDENTIARY SIGNIFICANCE: These manifest records were central to the prosecution's case in USA v. Maxwell, as the 2001-2004 timeframe encompassed the sex trafficking charges (Counts Five and Six of the superseding indictment). Prosecutors used the flight logs to establish patterns of travel between Epstein's residences and to corroborate victim testimony regarding specific trips and locations. Source: USA v.
