Indonesia's Air Force TNI-AU was the 1st export customer of the Korean built KT-1 and received 17 units. A few have been lost unfortunately, including the one pictured here on December 7, 2020 during approach to Adisutjipto Air Base in Yogjakarta (where the fleet is based). Apparently, Indonesia ordered three more KT-1's in 2018. The first a/c, delivered as from 2006, wore a light grey paint, but soon afterwards the TNI-AU started to apply this red/white livery with big black registration letters. All TNI-AU KT-1's are now assigned to the Jupiter Aerobatic Team.

In high demand of transport capacity, Indonesia took over nine of the twelve ex-RAAF surplus C-130H's (of which the first four were donated). They carry TNI-AU serials A-1330 through A-1338, and while most TNI-AU Herk's have a camouflage livery, A-1330 through A-1335 actually got this overall grey paint scheme during refurbishment in Australia (prior delivery to Indonesia). All have now been repainted to the camo style so I was lucky to catch this one while it was still grey. It is assigned to the 3rd (new) C-130 Skadron Udara 33 at Makassar, along with A-1315, A-1323, A-1330 and A-1338.

Indonesia's IPTN-Nurtanio aircraft facility in Bandung is mainly known for co-producing fixed-wing aircraft with Spain's CASA, such as the C212 Aviocar, the CN235 and the C295. However, it also built under licence different MBB, Bell and Aérospatiale helicopters for the local civilian and military market. Some 26 Super Pumas, of which at least 12 went to the Indonesian AF, were built locally since the mid 1980's. The one pictured here is assigned to VIP Sqn 45 based at Halim, and has since been repainted in an attractive white/red paint scheme (representing the national colors of Indonesia).
