Flying to bandung
Bandung is famous as the city of Paris van Java since it becomes the center of mode of Indonesia. But only few Indonesians know Bandung as center of some maintenance depo of Indonesian Air Force. Several Indonesian Air Force aircrafts are doing their regular major maintenance program in Bandung such as C-130, CN-235, Boeing ,Puma as well as super Puma and training aircraft from Jogja like KT 1 B Woong Bee, T-34 Charlie and AS 202 Bravo.
On July 11th, one KT 1 B has just finished major maintenance program at 11th maintenance unit at Husein Sastranegara AFB. The aircraft should be taken back to Adisutjipto AFB therefore Adisutjipto AFB commander sent two pilots to Bandung to take the Aircraft, They are Major Marcell "Liger" and Major Romas "condor".
Both pilots took off from Jogja at around 10.30 AM local time using one KT 1 B Woong Bee registered LD 0117. The weather on route was quite good. They flew just above the cloud at 9000 ft. The flight time was about 55 minutes, they landed at Husein Sastranegara AFB at 11.25.
It was not so long to wait the aircraft to be ready. LD 0108 only need to be ground checked just to make sure that every system working properly before it is flown to Jogja. At 15.32 Liger flight took off to Jogja. The weather was quite bad for ferry flight. The cloud was broken 10.000 ft above Malangbong, the city on radial 117 at about 25 miles from Bandung. Fortunately during that flight there were some holes in the sky , giving a safe road for Liger flight for going back to Jogja. The flight finally landed safely at 16.30 at Adisutjipto AFB.
