Before joining the TNI-AU fleet in October 2004, this 1978 built airframe has been operated by airlines in China, Canada, Cayman Islands, Paraguay, Brasil, Uruguay and finally Indonesia. It was initially assigned to the VIP Skadron Udara 17 at Halim (as pictued here) but with the arrival of additional and more modern VIP B737's, the TNI-AU decided at one point to transfer this legacy airframe to Skadron Udara 5 at Makassar, which was already equipped with three "Maritime patrol" B737-200. Consequently, A-7304 was reserialled to AI-7304 (AI stands for "Angkut Intai" = Maritime patrol).
