A real shame. There appears to be some movement in the India-Pakistan standoff, but this is limited to commercial air transport only:

Apart from the range issue, a Tiger will not reach FL250. At least, not on its own.

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.

I hope she makes it eventually but whatever, she deserves recognition for trying.

I think that moth on the 747 was in a Japanese horror movie..
