 Europe's Largest Aviation Magazine AFM reports Dutch Aviation's reportage:
Februari 2009: Indonesian Army Aviation
AirForces Monthly UK publishes Achmad Yani
New leader of the Hind Sqn: Pangaran Diponegro, named after the legendarious freedom fighter
   
There was a lot of talking and translating, but we got the confidence of our hosts, and results !
 
Mil Mi-35, a tremendous fearsome Fighting Platform ! Indonesia receives more examples !
 
Even John Rambo wouldn't like to meet this guy, with 'Charles' as the pilot !
 
We laughed, when a pilot sais about his collegue: 'There's too much Charles in this session' :-)
 
Also here, a few relics, the Mi-4 Hound , and the small Birddog from TNI-AD nearby.
 
And finally a picture of the many men that served us the day we visited. Thank you all !!
 

BOGOR AFB

n
A Mil Mi-1 in front of this base, and the Staff appreciated a group picture
W
We were offered one demonstration of this so called 'Puma Super' as Indonesia calls it
 
A little modified but also like most countries that use it a very reliable and useful helicopter !
 

ADISUTJIPTO MUSEUM

 
Indonesia hosts a lot of relic planes as in this museum, here a Piper Cub
 
An AT-16 Harvard and a L-29 Delphin , too many types to show them all...
 
... but a few we'd like to share with you. The B-26 Invader and a Consolidated Catalina PBY-5
 
This replica of a Cureng, and a Mig-19
 
This fuselage part has an article on it's own, see 'History'.  Quite a historic fact. 
 
Next there is a C-140 jetstar, and a fine example of the LT-200
 
With a Nakajima Hayabusha and a class of schoolchildren we leave Adisudiptjo museum.
 
 IDSIMAN MUSEUM
 
In the weekends (non-flying days) you can visit the many museums in Indonesia like Idsiman...
 
... where you find all kinds of armament and this Dutch P-51 Mustang
