Ahhh , you're flying a turbine , no problem with fuel

Caravan ?

Also add a few days just in case you find yourself cooling your heels somewhere , you may be lucky and have no problems , you may also get stuck for a few days while they 'find' your paperwork even if you have done everything right. Don't make things easy if you can make it difficult is the motto and whatever you do don't lose your temper.

Keep in mind that Makassar is Indonesia's main fighter base also ... SU-27s , SU-30s and F-16s

I'm trying to contact an air force colonel that I know (squadron commander) to see what the deal is for overflight and landing at various airports. When I get hold of him I'll do a post.

Personally I recommend you use a flight planning service to get all the clearances rather than trying to do it all yourself , could save a lot of headaches and you'll have some local back up from the service if something isn't going as it should.
