This particular indonesian built airframe had it's 1st flight on November 30, 1983 as PK-XDJ and was delivered to the TNI-AL in March of 1984. It was, after U-610, the 2nd airframe for the Indonesian Navy and there are conflicting reports about how many CASA-IPTN 212's the branch took on. At least 8 units are confirmed, some of which have been re-registered though.
