A January 1996 flight ledger records a passenger rendered as David Anton. The record offers a date, a route and a name, but no reliable basis for attaching a biography or motive.
Key Takeaways
- The inspected January 1, 1996 log records David Anton on flight 787.
- The recorded route is Palm Beach to Teterboro.
- The full name entry does not establish a biography, an aircraft seat assignment or a reason for travel.
What the Documents Reveal
The published passenger spreadsheet identifies David Anton as passenger number five on a January 1, 1996 Palm Beach to Teterboro leg, with an aircraft described by the compiler as a Gulfstream and a tail number recorded as N908JE. The original log should determine the correct aircraft type and spelling; these derived fields may be inconsistent in different transcriptions.
Names sharing the letters DA or the surname Anton are not interchangeable. Without an independent document confirming occupation and full identity, an identification of this traveler with another public person would be speculative. A record can be worth preserving without inflating a single notation into a social or criminal relationship.
The Primary Flight Log and Its Limits
EFTA02846460 is the Epstein aviation log exhibit introduced in the federal prosecution of Ghislaine Maxwell. It is the original documentary anchor for this passenger research. A log can document a date, route, registered aircraft and people recorded by its keeper. It does not by itself prove that everyone listed boarded, met, or shared the same purpose. Any initials or uncertain handwriting should remain visibly qualified until another source identifies the traveler.
Researchers should distinguish the first historical log entry from its later reproduction as a spreadsheet, court exhibit, OCR transcription or online index. These can all refer to one journey. Counting each repetition as independent confirmation creates a false sense of corroboration.
Retrieved Flight Index Entries
Epstein Data’s flight finding aid returned 1 matching entries for this recorded spelling on October 14, 2026. The following table includes every returned entry in that search. It is a scoped search inventory, not a claim that every journey in the person’s life or every released record has been found.
The source column identifies records attached to the indexed flight. It does not assert that every attached record names this traveler. Some original sources preserve only a route, initials or redacted passengers, while a derivative compiler supplies a full name. Those distinctions must remain visible. Multiple source labels can refer to copies or transcriptions of one underlying record.

Verified Handwritten Entry
Printed page 39 of the original log carries the transition from December 1995 into January 1996. The January 1 line records flight 787 from Palm Beach to Teterboro and includes a name read as David Anton in the remarks column. The aircraft column identifies N908JE on the page, with ditto marks on the January line.
This visual source check verifies a full name entry rather than a later expansion of DA. The page supplies no occupation, age or reason for travel. A compiler’s designation of passenger number five is a position in its transcription, not an aircraft seat assignment.
Questions and Unresolved Issues
- What independent record, if any, identifies the recorded traveler beyond the name?
- Do any other contemporaneous documents independently identify this David Anton?
- Does the airframe registration in the spreadsheet match the underlying log?
- Are there any independently authenticated biographical identifiers?
