Matty:

There are no "flight numbers" because this is a privately owned plane and not a scheduled airline.

Flight plans are filed with the tail number of the aircraft and the make and model of the plane; that is sort of like its permanent license plate. The registrations for planes that list ownership - past and current - are also public domain information if someone wants to go look for it.

So if you find out that the tail number for Redskins One is "ABC-123" then all you have to search for is the filed flight plan for "ABC-123". You don't need the FBI and the CIA working overtime here...

Before you ask, yes, I used to fly small aircraft. I haven't done that for a while now.
