When eight F-16As and four F-16Bs replaced the OV-10s with 3 Squadron from 1989, they were by far the most modern aircraft in TNI-AU service. Between 1996 and 1999, they formed the Elang Biru, or Blue Falcon demo team. Today, ten aircraft remain operational and need to be upgraded to remain effective.

Indonesian Aerospace, or PT IPTN in the 80’s and 90’s, produced a number of NB-412S and NB-412HP transport helicopters from 1988. At least fifteen seem to have been received, with at least two lost so far. They are hard to track as they are scattered all over the Archipelago.

The GAF Nomad patrol aircraft is by far the most numerous aircraft in Navy service. Eighteen N 22B/SLs were delivered to RON 800 from 1975, although one was lost pre-delivery. All survivors have now been withdrawn from use. Twenty ex-RAA/RAAF N 22B/N 24As arrived in 1997. At least four more were received around 2002.
