ADISUTJIPTO TRAINER BASE |
||
| Well now, let's have a look at Adisutjipto Pilots Trainer Base | ||
 |
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 !! | ||
