In general the problem I have with Indonesia as a destination is, a hell of a lot of people live there, and hiding a 777 would be no easy task. However, I have no knowledge of the surrounding islands, or if any have potentially accommodating airfields.
I’m currently looking at a few pictures of the Pilot and Co-Pilot. I haven’t read any real informative bio or either, but just looking through the pictures, if either were involved, I’d probably bet on the Pilot.
The 27 year old Co-Pilot is shown in the pictures as a Latte/Milkshake drinking, Polo Shirt wearing(western style), potential ladies man(if the recent report of him bringing women into the cockpit is true). Seems to me like he had a good life that he enjoyed, or more accurately, I life he wouldn’t want to jeopardize or give up.
The 50+ year old Pilot also seemed like a generally jovial guy who was VERY into flying(even had a sophisticated simulator in his home). However, he seemed more of a potential loner, and maybe all those hours on the simulator had him thinking dangerous thoughts(evading radar, taking the plane to its limits, etc).
Now THERE’S some pure speculation for you. haha!
Truthfully, after looking through the pictures, I wouldn’t bet on either of them being involved. Which makes this whole thing even more frustrating. Unless maybe something catastrophic happened in their own lives, and they ‘cracked’.
Might be an easy task if the plane turned west from it's last known location and flew to the tip of Indonesia, Banda Aceh, where the terrible tsunami struck a few years ago. Landing fields must exist there for the supplies donated.
The pilot would like to help you fix your ice maker:
