With less than 300 units built by CASA (now Airbus Military) and Nurtanio/IPTN since 1986, the CN-235 is not the most successful aircraft, but nevertheless a rather interesting one, as it is operated in small numbers by many Air Arms around the world. The Indonesian AF has so far aquired twelve CN-235's, with A-2302 being the 2nd one (built in 1992). In June 2019, this airframe has been transferred to the newly established Skadron Udara 27 and based on the island of Biak (Papua province). It has since also received the typical glossy three tone camo livery know from the TNI-AU's C-130 fleet.

Since the amalgation of the Federal and Srbska airforces new serials have been applied.
