Information on exercise Indonesia

[kiwirico]

Hi all there (specially Skyhawkdon),

I need some information about one interesting exercise with 75Sqn A-4's in Indonesia that took place somewere in late 1980's (or perhaps very early '90's?). The exersice was named "Elang Sebrang" and if my information is correct took place at TNI-AU airbase Iswahjudi (but not 100% sure).

Does any one know which aircraft are involved? Serials please!!!
Also any information welcome like route flown and pictures would be great too ;D

Hope to get response,

all best wishes.

75 Sqn (8 x pre Kahu Skyhawks) went to Iswahjudi for exercises with the TNI-AU (who operated mostly Russian aircraft at the time) in the early 80s and to Medan in the 1990s with 8 x Kahu Skyhawks (excercised with the Indonesian Skyhawks). As well on almost every deployment to and from SE Asia 75 Sqn would stage through Indonesia.

Thanks Skyhawkdon, do you know the serials of KAHU involved in the 1990's deployement to Medan, Indonesia? Or perhaps one member of the 75Sqn (pilot/groundcrew) who was there?

Thanks,

KiwiRico

This is two years later and perhaps you don't need the info any more but, from my log book, we had 6203,05,06,08,10,51,53,54 at Iswahjudi. We arrived on 14 Sep 1979, flew for a couple of days (one FAC exercise, one simulated "ship" strike on the airfield), out to Tengah on 19th Sep.

A bit late... but thanks for your reply. I am very happy with the info you shared.
Thanks my friend
