Military radar-tracking evidence suggests a Malaysia Airlines jetliner missing for nearly a week was deliberately flown across the Malay peninsula towards the Andaman Islands, sources familiar with the investigation told Reuters on Friday.

Two sources (click here) said an unidentified aircraft that investigators believe was Flight MH370 was following a route between navigational waypoints - indicating it was being flown by someone with aviation training - when it was last plotted on military radar off the country's northwest coast.

The last plot on the military radar's tracking suggested the plane was flying toward India's Andaman Islands, a chain of isles between the Andaman Sea and the Bay of Bengal, they said.

Waypoints are geographic locations, worked out by calculating longitude and latitude, that help pilots navigate along established air corridors....

Yep. Pilots don't need radar to fly planes or jets for that matter. The higher the altitude the slower the land below moves, so it is easy to find island chains as landmarks to a destination.

 










In the USA, small planes use highways and natural boundaries as landmarks. It is very possible the flight was continued without the passengers awareness to an alternate destination. Once at the destination, who knows? The passengers were told they had to relinquish their cell phones for security checks into China. At some point the jet could have been boarded. India would take this possibility more seriously due to Mumbai.
