Colour me dubious. If the phone is in airplane mode then the carrier doesn't know where it is. Are you suggesting they broadcast this information on all their cell towers? Or that they have a secret system to predict/guess where a dark handset might be so they can target it? Either sounds extremely unlikely.

Like the plane they have circling D.C. right now, or a drone. And your location is often known approximately. https://www.buzzfeednews.com/article/peteraldhous/spies-in-the-skies https://www.buzzfeednews.com/article/peteraldhous/spies-in-t... Someone should point a good signal analyser at these.
