Hi All,
I'd like to know more information about last month's (August) alleged Indonesian Airspace violation by VFA-22 Hornets. What I know so far is that 5 F/A-18s on a CAP strayed into Commercial airspace, got too close to a Bouraq 737, the pilot of which reported the incident to the ground. Bali control, who have the F/A-18s on radar, sent 2 F-16Bs to intercept. The 7 aircrafts did a (very?) short acm session until one of the F-16s got bracketed and rocked its wings. The F/A-18s then stated their intentions and asked the F-16s to stay away from the CV. Indonesian media is reporting that the F/A-18s radar was locking on to the F-16s, and therefore acting hostile toward the F-16s. This incident have done no good to improving the public's perception of the US in Jakarta. That is all the info I have. Anybody know more? What is the standard procedure for CV aircrafts on CAP enroute through territorial waters of another country? Was this really what actually happen? Thanks, Bram |
