Hey guys! I would like to share what I did in the last three days. I got bored of flying in Europe so I did a tour around my country’s neighbor, Indonesia! The challenge was to fly every Indonesian airline in IF using real life routes and it was super fun. I would like to share some photos, and the flight numbers for all of you to replicate and enjoy! Hope you like my amateur photos as I’m not a really good photographer lol.

I would like to thank the pilots who joined me (even though they don’t know me) throughout this trip as it made me less lonely! I do remember that some of them are from GAVA, so hello to all GAVA pilots! Sorry I’m unable to thank you one by one but if you flew in Indonesia in the period of 0600Z to 1400Z last July 4-6, I would like to say hi! And for the Indonesians out there, thank you for having one of the best sceneries and sights, sincerely from the Philippines!
(P.S. No photos for QZ125 as nothing interesting happened lol. Also, Please forgive me for my bad grammar 😅)
