On top of a wooden deck in a quiet part of Sihu (nowadays Xihu) town, in the company of three jets and some missiles. Operational with the 439th Troop Carrier and ASW Combined Wing at Pingtung-South, also known as the 6th TC&ASCW, until being present at the type's withdrawal ceremony on 19 December 1997. The badge on the nose depicts the angry bird of the 103rd Troop Carrier Sqn, part of the 10th Flying Brigade that represented the airlift part of the wing.
