David Rodgers
Personal Pilot
Background
David Rodgers served as one of Jeffrey Epstein's personal pilots, operating Epstein's Boeing 727-200 (tail number N908JE), which became known in media reports as the "Lolita Express." Rodgers maintained detailed flight logs that recorded the passengers, routes, and dates of flights on Epstein's aircraft over a period spanning approximately from the mid-1990s through the 2000s.
The flight logs maintained by Rodgers became crucial evidence in legal proceedings against Epstein and his associates. The logs documented the travel of numerous high-profile individuals to Epstein's various properties, including his private island in the U.S. Virgin Islands. Rodgers provided testimony about his duties and the passengers he transported, and his records have been the subject of intense public interest and legal scrutiny as one of the most direct records of who visited Epstein's properties.
