ISWAHJUDI AFB 

Realise that this reportage is very special,few people get access to Indonesian Defense Forces
iiiiii
Here some Indonesian F-16's at Iswahjudi AFB, Madiun East Java
 
Our fortune was both one-, and two-seater 
 
Pilots, groundcrews and staff received us extremely friendly !
 
A view at the Iswahjudi Tower, and some F-5 'Tigers' 
 
The F-5's demonstrated us low flying, and parachute landings
 
After every flight there is a large ground crew for checking out the machine
 
Iswahjudi Tower and Main building, and a plate in front of it
Some badges taken from the shoulders of the pilots
 
This is a special CELEBRATION !!!
 
A young pilot reached his 1000 Hrs on the F-5 and gets a speech from the Basecommander
 
Also he gets a special badge, and a golden ring - as well as a special treatment !
   
He is honoured by all squadronmates with water, flowers and... eggs in his flightsuit !!
Finally some squadron pictures are taken before he can have a nice shower and clean clothes
Next to the F-16 and F-5 Iswahjudi houses the Hawk, hardly ever seen somewhere
 
Also this type was flown for our benefit, nice to see ! 
 
We gave Base Commander Dede Rusamsi a presentation, and Kees interviews pilots.
