ex Singapore AF 155

Probably Ankasa Aero Club but still with military code

Something special to "celebrate" my 500th image on the airhistory.net database. I was very fortunate to catch this single seat Hawk in this special 3-tone trial camo, which was unfortunately dropped in favour of a standard two-tone grey camo. This particular airframe was among the first batch of 16 single-seat Hawks initially ordered by the TNI-AU. Having had british test serial ZJ156, it was handed over to the Indonesian AF in March of 1997 as TT-1220, and was later re-serialled to TT-0213. TT stands for "Tempur Taktis", meaning tachtical fighter.

Painted in "Floral" Retro livery of Citilink used from 2001-2008 since 2019

As from 2001, the Indonesian AF took delivery of twelve EC120, HL-1201 being the first one. Replacing the Bell 47 as the TNI-AU's basic helicopter trainer, all Colibri's for years were operated by Skadron Udara 7 only. However, to better separate operational from training duties, a dedicated helicopter training squadron was inaugurated on September 1, 2022 ("Skadron Pendidikan 105"). The TNI-AU's helicopter display team "Dynamic Pegasus" also performs on the Colibri, temporarly drawing four helis from the two squadrons. The entire EC120 fleet is based at Kalijati / Suryadarma AF Base (WHIK).

Indonesia started to receive an initial batch of four Block 15 F-16B's (serialled TS-1601 through TS-1604) and eight F-16A's (TS-1605 through TS-1612) under the Peace Bima-Sena FMS program in late 1989. TS-1603 shown here carried US FY # 87-0723 and was written off after a landing accident in Thailand on March 14, 2017. The writing on the LH underwing auxiliary fuel tank translates to "the unitary Republic of Indonesia is undisputed". As from 2017, the remaining F-16A/B's have undergone a mid-life update and at the same time received a new two-tone grey camo.
