The Moscow to Havana flight should now be on the ground in Havana, Cuba
(Terminal 3, unknown gate)
No word yet if Edward Snowden in on board.
The original reports out of Hong Kong (last month) stated that Snowden
left Hong Kong to Moscow with an Aeroflot ticket that listed his final
destination as Havana, Cuba.
There were massively huge changes to the flight path to keep it out of
U.S. Airspace, this would have expended a great deal more fuel ($$), and
the flight path presented much more risk over the open ocean.
There were also some very odd course deviations during the flight with
sudden course changes toward U.S. Territorial waters, and then back away.
