Or was it just crew room BS.
The only contact we ever made with the Indonesian Badger(s?) was shadowing it down the Strait of Sumatra, when they stayed on their side of the ADIZ border. On one of these interceptions, Colin Holman & Benny Baranowski were in close formation with the Badger taking photographs for some time and were within Indonesian airspace for a while; no overt hostilities from either side, though. On this occasion we were told that the Chief of the Indonesian Air Force, Omar Dani, was one of the IAF crew.
