Yes, a good point. I wanted to say, that it is technically doable.
Certainly, for organizing such an expedition it is necessary to take
into account meteorology, legal aspects, flight planning, etc.

Hi Andy,
Actually it is doable. The TAM-5, 11-pound RC plane, flew 1,888
miles from Canada to Ireland over the Atlantic ocean in 38 hours
still in 2003 [1].
The distance from Puerto Princesa City, Philippines, to this reef
is only 265 miles. And the technology is much better now. A RC
plane of this small size is invisible to radars.
It would be about ten hours flight. Nowadays electric RC gliders
can stay in the air times longer [2]. Certainly, such a flight is
possible only with a good weather forecast for the whole route.
