Well

|
W |
|
Mrs.
Andu, as interpreter temporarily attached to the Dutch Embassy did the
talking |
|
|
|
Asking
the pilots for a picture. Non smoking ofcourse !! Dilarang Merokok !! |
|
|
|
Groundcrews
take care that the pilots can take-off safely |
|
|
|
After
the logo's let's have a look at the planes |
|
This
one is a Beechcraft Turbo Mentor type T-34C-1 |
|
|
|
This
is so nice to see ! You only meet them here with their Indonesian roundels... |
|
|
|
...
because they hardly ever will fly outside Indonesia. Here in shelter and
on the runway |
|
|
|
They
are also capable and used for landings on grass terrain, as well as the
asphalt |
|
|
|
A
last view on the mentor... |
|
...
and a first on this beauty trainer |
|
This
one is a type KT-1B , |
|
|
|
No
really, not delivered by 'Pilatus Switzerland' ... |
|
|
|
...
but it comes from South Korea |
|
|
|
It's
a quite manageble plane, and we enjoyed the many flights this day |
|
|
|
In
spite of the temperature of 40 (!) degrees celcius. Therefor all the
shelters, to cool off... |
|
|
|
...
and do all the jobs to be done like refuelling. |
|
|
|
We
end up with some relics, left an old T-34, right a cessna T-41 Mescalero |
Quite
next to this Skyhawks were situated, but we were not allowed to picture
these... pity !! |
