I think the question being posed is not why was that flight path used, but is there any evidence that flightpath was actually flown.
Yes, fair point. I was simply assuming that at least SOME of the Malaysian information was correct, although that might be a stretch.
But I still do not believe there is any way that the aircraft flew over Indonesian airspace without being spotted. Aceh is a very sensitive area for Jakarta. The "Reported" flight path around the Northern tip of Sumatera would make sense ONLY if someone was trying to evade both Thai AND Indonesian detection? Other than that, I stand corrected.
