I was rather surprised seeing this sitting on the ramp - an around-the-world flight leaving the next day to Singapore as AF4769. Now preserved at CDG

damaged during landing at Semerang October 1983, repaired and ferried to Jakarta. Broken up September 1985 (photographer not known)

On display at Museum Pusat TNI-AU Dirgantara Mandala. The Valiant was a two-seat basic trainer with fixed landing gear, full navigation and night-flying equipment. Several variants were produced; the BT-13, BT-13A (SNV-1) and BT-13B (SNV-2) were powered by a 450 h.p. P&W R-985 Wasp Junior radial engine, whereas the BT-15 was fitted with the nine-cylinder 450 h.p. Wright Whirlwind R-975 engine. Production ceased in 1944 after 11,537 Valiants had been built for the USAAF and U.S. Navy. This Valiant served in AURI's flying school from 1951 and went to the museum in 1985.

Till 2003, this 1989 built airframe flew for Condor and Lufthansa as D-ABWF. Sold to chinese carrier Yangtze River Express as B-5055 which operated it as freighter till the end of 2016. Next stop was with congolese airline "Serve Air" (registered 9Q-DHJ and 9S-AHJ) before Trigana Air Service bought it in late 2021. The aircraft has no fixed base and for technical and operational reasons is being moved back and forth between Trigana's western (Java) and eastern (Papua) area of operation.

After a long career all over the world (refer to Photo ID 656384 for details), this 1986 built airframe ended up in Indonesia in late 2012. Since then, it's hauling cargo almost daily from the coastal city of Jayapura-Sentani to Wamena (Papua Province). It's first indonesian "stop" was Trigana Air (as PK-YSE) till April 2015, before taken over by Cardig Air which operated it for four years till December 2019. PK-BBC then changed ownership once again, currently flying for Jayawijaya under registration PK-JRB (2.). I was luckly to catch this airframe in all three indonesian airlines liveries.

This 1986 built airframe started its career as PT-TEA (Transbrasil). Next stops were Aloha Airlines & Vanguard Airlines (both as N303AL), then w/ America West Airlines as N330AW from July of 1997. Registration B-2165 was assigned w/ Shandong Airlines in early 2002, followed by TF-BBX in September 2003 (Bluebird Cargo), XA-UDQ w/ Estafeta Carga Aerea in April 2005, and Aeroflot as VP-BCJ between April 2008 and September 2009. Safair then flew it as ZS-SMG before Trigana Air took it on strength as PK-YSE (04/2013). Cardig Air was next (PK-BBC), now w/ Jayawijaya Dirgantara as PK-JRB since 2019.
