It looks to me like the pilot could have flown over the open sea and free from radar surveillance if the goal was to get to Iran or Pakistan.
Look at the map in my previous post (#21) and you will see what I mean. If the satellite data is correct that plane either flew South over the open ocean or North over India. I'm betting it went South.
As pointed out last night on FNC, if it headed south it would have flown over Singapore and Sing has the best early warning and radar and would have seen the plane.
