This airframe is one of six L-100-30 sold to the Indonesian Government in the early 1980's. It flew with Pelita as PK-PLT and later as PK-MLT with Merpati. In 1990 is was modified with eleven B727 windows visible on both sides of the fuselage. Sold to the TNI-AU in late 1995. Although built as a civilian L-100-30 - without the lower cockpit windows - it later received the typical C-130 front section containing 23 cockpit windows.
