Disclaimer: This site has been first put up 15 years ago. Since then I would probably do a couple things differently, but because I've noticed this site had been linked from news outlets, PhD theses and peer rewieved papers and because I really hate the concept of "digital dark age" I've decided to put it back up. There's no chance it can produce any harm now.

UNCLAS WELLINGTON 000833 SIPDIS STATE FOR PM/DTCC-PDADE AND EAP/ANP-DRICCI E.O. 12958: N/A TAGS: ETTC, KOMC, NZ, ID, US SUBJECT: BLUE LANTERN CASE AG-1003-97: CHECK ON BOEING A-4 SERVICE AGREEMENT WITH NEW ZEALAND FIRM SAFE AIR LIMITED REF: STATE 191598 1. Safe Air Limited of Marlborough, New Zealand, reported October 26 that it has no record of being informed by Boeing/McDonnell-Douglas that it should cease servicing Indonesian Air Force A-4s in 1999. However, the company says it was well aware of the arms embargo against Indonesia and complied with it. 2. Safe Air Limited said it last serviced A-4 jet fighters for Indonesia in 1999. Under the Manufacturing License Agreement No. AG-1003-97 from McDonnell-Douglas Corporation (now Boeing), Safe Air overhauled two A-4s that the Indonesian military purchased in 1996 from the U.S. government. After refurbishing the A-4s, Safe Air shipped them to Indonesia, where they were delivered to the Indonesian Air Force in October 1999. The cost of the overhaul was US $8 million. Safe Air Limited said it has not worked on those aircraft since then or on any others for the Indonesian Air Force. Burnett
