PONDOK CABE - POLICE

     
Rain was coming up, but still... this Enstrom 480B beauty in the sun !
 
We were welcomed by the Police Department Staff, had an interview and gave a presentation
 
M-28 Skytruck and Casa212 in their hangar. Were we lucky or not ?....
 
A Dauphin flying... we were lucky, because all types were in their hangars
   
Such as this Bolkow and Fokker...
 
This Beech D-18S, this Commander AC-560A
Another couple of Enstroms staring at us...
 
And where do you find the Mil-Mi-2 in such bright colours ? When you fly this type you fly'm all !
 
A Bell NB 412 in revision   A Beech 1900
 
And even Latih Diamond DA-40 motorgliders in use. Yes... you can say we were lucky that day !

The TUPOLEV-16, the type in which Mas Nuring flew 
The History article will be translated in English later on on this page
 
Left Mr. Adisutjipto, after whom the Airbase wes called, right a young Soekarno
 
Left Dutch Hunter planes, right an Ilyushin 78
 
Another Tupolev 16 in flight   Here a relic in Holland, the Hunter
 
Former General Mas Nuring tells the History through Indonesian eyes to Piloot en Vliegtuig Kees Otten who was invited by Gen. Nuringthias, who flew the Tupolev 'Badger' himself !

HALIM - JAKARTA

We cannot offer our readers an article about this Major Indonesian Transportbase.
In spite of HQ permission the Basecommander did not facilitate our request for unknown reasons.
Our apologies, but we managed to show you a few pictures, some made by Alex Sidharta Julius

As stated, the commander of Halim did not welcome us on both invited days to collect material and make a fine
 publication about this base in spite of permission from Headquarters. We would have liked to ask about this Dutch 
pride, the Fokker Friendship, and write about present time and future plans. We regret that this story is lacking.
