The eyecatcher of the LIMA'15 exhibition was this 1967 built Nuri, the very first entering service with the Royal Malaysian AF that same year. 42 more would follow till 1978, but accidents and technical issues gradually reduced the availability of Nuris. When 12 new EC725 helis started to pour in as from 2012, the remaining Nuri's were to be handed over to the Malaysian Army. Thus AIROD delivered the first two during LIMA'15, both refurbished and wearing this stunning digital camo (the 2nd was M23-31, c/n 61798). The two were the only ones delivered, as technical issues grew and prevailed.

Having leased another BD-700 Global Express between 1999 and 2001 (serialled M48-01, cn 9007), the Royal Malaysian Air Force took delivery of this 2001 built Global Express in 2002. Still current at the time of upload, it is being used for Government VIP flights along a sole Dassault Falcon 900 Biz-Jet serialled M37-01.

Having already operated three B737-200 in the "Maritime Patrol" role since 1983, the TNI-AU has since 2004 added five more 737's for passenger and VIP duties. They are of different versions and are assigned to Skadron Udara 17 based at Halim. A-7305 pictured here was manufactured in September 1993 and flew with Garuda Indonesia as PK-GWL till March 2011, before being transferred to the TNI-AU. It was involved in extracting 26 Indonesian Embassy staff plus a handful of Afghan and Phillippine nationals out of Kabul on August 19, 2021.

Twelve EC725's (now rebranded H225M) were ordered by Malaysia in 2010, with deliveries starting in 2011. They are assigned to 5 Squadron based in Labuan and Squadron 10 out of Kuantan. Used in the CSAR / SAR role, plus for general transport duties of course. The C/N of this airframe is not known, but must be in the 28XX range, as the first TUDM EC725 (M55-01) has c/n 2817 and the last - M55-12 - carries c/n 2887.

Since 1983, a total of 285 CN235's have been built by CASA in Spain and IPTN-Nurtanio in Indonesia. While CASA - now Airbus Military - completed 215 units, IPTN assembled 70 airframes, mainly for the Indonesian armed forces, but also for some other asian air arms like Thailand, South Korea, Malaysia and Brunei. Pakistan, the UAE and lately Senegal in West-Africa also became IPTN customers. Well visible on this 2014 built airframe are the winglets, introduced to the MPA version. P-862 is based in Surabaya and is one of five operated by the TNI-AL. It has since been re-serialled to P-8303.
