Rough example of the decal
Air Force Flight School Aircraft Insignia
Hello everyone! Today I would like to suggest the Indonesian Air Force Flight School Aircraft Insignia. The decal appears on many different Education Wing’s Aircrafts from past to present, with it appearing not just in training aircraft but also combat capable ones like the HS-Hawk 53. I think this decal would be interesting to see in-game
Note: it seems that the decal is not uniform across airframes, with some decals having differences from one another, such as the white lines behind the bird, the wings, etc.
A. History
Details
the Indonesian Air Force Academy (AFA) traces its roots all the way back to the immediate post-independence declaration of Indonesia. It was originally established in Maguwo, Yogyakarta in December 1945 as the Air Force Personnel Education Institution during the Indonesian War of Independence. They were originally conceived under the direction of Air Commodore Suryadi Suryadarma & Agustinus Adisutjipto using captured Japanese-built Tjureng Trainers (K5Y). This early institution created aviation figures who helped lay the foundations for the Indonesian Air Force (AURI). Despite many setbacks, including the killing of Adisutjipto and several others during a humanitarian mission, and the complete destruction of Maguwo Air Base during the 2nd Dutch Aggression in December 1948, the education continues to evolve and consolidate across various locations like Like Kalijati and Andir in West Java.
By the early 50s, the leadership unified various (AURI) officer training schools under a single organization at Adisutjipto Air Base, leading to the establishment of a permanent home on April 9th 1960, with an official inauguration of the AFA on July 26th 1965. Shortly after, as a part of a military restructuring under General Gatot Subroto to integrate the branches, AFA was incorporated into AKABRI (Armed Forces Academy) as the Air Branch of the academy in December the same year. It operates under the joint command structure before eventually returning to Air Force’s control on June 16th 1984, retaining its original name of the Air Force Academy (AFA). Over the following decades, the AFA continuously updated its curriculum to keep up with modern educational and defence needs.
