In answer to that Satco I can tell you I wasn't nominated for GA investigative journalism award.

She is exposed to the elements as she flies between 50 to 1,000 feet at 90mph and uses basic period flight instruments. Her next stop is at Palempang in Indonesia this Saturday followed by other cities in Indonesia and Australia before arriving at Sydney in Australia early next year.
Can some one explain to me why the crew of the Spirit of Artemis needed to fly so low?

I know from time spent in Myanamar the temple in the picture is one of many in Bagan.

Most countries will not sanction such a flight plan for VRF foreign pilots and that includes just about every one in S.E.Asia.
