What Mike said.
It's not a 'bird', it's an aeroplane or an aircraft :rant:

A real shame. There appears to be some movement in the India-Pakistan standoff, but this is limited to commercial air transport only: https://ops.group/blog/pakistan-india/
Apart from the range issue, a Tiger will not reach FL250. At least, not on its own.
Due to shortages and cutbacks the light at the end of the tunnel has been switched off.

Not a bad idea, but I suspect the TM will probably fit inside the 747.

But seriously, If I were her I would fly to Muscat and if Pakistan does not open there airspace, put the moth on a boat and sail it to India.

Yes, I didn't really get the scale right!

I hope she makes it eventually but whatever, she deserves recognition for trying. :agree: EricT
Now at the age where I know I like girls but can't remember why!
