Not a good idea to carry around printed sat pics of Russian terrain either. Especially when you stumble out of the wilderness into an unfenced ICBM base....
Had some explaining to do there!

Está servira para distraerle.
Good Grief! I do believe that you can be arrested in London for taking a photograph of Big Ben. It's something to do with the prevention of terrorism act which, considering the number of terrorists floating around Britain on benefit, is a trifle droll.

You can laugh but one FO thought it was a good idea to take a photo with lots of sand around the aircraft.
There was a bit of commotion as you would expect and the fancy phone removed. It was then found the google map pic on it of the airport which said FO had to aid taxing and briefing. Bit to much detail including mil base off airport.
Thankfully the local security commander had been to Sandhurst took us into the office yelled very loudly in English asking how we both were and where we were from for 30 mins. And sent us on our way including smart phone.
Walking back to the aircraft the FO just said "I am a stupid
"
Which was exactly how my debrief was going to start so I left it at that.

I recall a long time ago (seventies I guess) the Cubana flight from Havana to Montreal was permitted to overfly the US along a strictly defined corridor. At one stage the IL-62 drifted off track and overflew somewhere sensitive – the airline got a warning. A couple of weeks later it did it again in the same place, and got a stern warning. A couple of weeks later it did it a third time, and the overflight authority was suspended. It’s a long way from Havana to Montreal, avoiding US airspace.

Got a load of Yusnho airport on Sakhalin island.But they dont like you taking them from the terminal!Used to be military ,think this is where the MIG that shot down the Korea airline plane came from.There is a MIG 21(?)down town in the museum.
