Arief says the jets were holding a training exercise outside of Indonesian territory when bad weather forced them to land while returning to their carrier, which was about 100 nautical miles west of Sumatra island.
He said Sunday that Indonesia’s air force has completed a comprehensive inspection of the planes.

Five are now back while the other two were still at the base on Sunday.

So, apparently the French are fair weather fighters. Lets hope their next war occurs on sunny days......

Aceh which has introduced Sharia law in the province would be the last place you would seek asylum. Indonesia is slowly heading down that well worn path of Islamic fundamentalism that these Islamic idiots can't seem to extricate themselves from. Hey TC, why not go there for a holiday. It'll get you away from all those nasty Christians.
