| Every year, the Indonesian Air Force, or Angkatan Udara, celebrates its anniversary on 9 April. This year was no exception…but not quite. For the first time a public day was organized on Sunday 8 April, and Indonesian spotters and photographers were allowed on base to see the rehearsals during two days in the preceding week. This arrangement was announced a few weeks before the event. It seems that a few foreigners were also present, but it is clear that Intel had a heavy hand in the proceedings. On the public Sunday all fighters had covers over their canopies during public access to the ramp. However, the afternoon flying made up for that. On Sunday, foreigners had problems getting in and Intel seemed to have prohibited photography by them. Online publication of pictures was again limited, and no list of serials could be obtained from our contacts. However, we compiled an almost complete list and present it below. All-in-all we see a positive change of attitude and this is definitely an event to keep in mind. On 5 October, a similar show is expected for 67 years TNI. | ||||
