Two Mirage figter jets take off from a Taiwan highway after making a successful test-landing on the emergency wartime runway for the first time in 26 years in Tainan on July 21, 2004. Two Mirage fighter jets touched down on Wednesday on a usually busy Taiwan highway - the first time in 26 years - as part of war games to test the island's combat readiness against any attack by arch-foe China. The drills by Taiwan, claimed by China and seen by security analysts as the most dangerous flashpoint in the Asia-Pacific, coincided with drills by the People's Liberation Army (PLA) on the island of Dongshan off China's southeastern coast.
