We have made that all Hercules (C-130) airplanes running in Papua are at the airbase.
Jayapura, Papua – Leader of the Silas Papare Airbase, Commodore Budi Achmadi, has denied a report of a Hercules C-130 transport plane crashing in Papua province.
” We have actually made certain that all Hercules (C-130) planes operating in Papua are at the airbase,” he stated here on Monday.
A number of photos of debris from a Hercules C-130 aircraft depending on a range of mountains in Papua province have actually been flowed, but they have been discovered to be from a crash four years ago, he clarified.
The pictures show a TNI AU Hercules C-130 HS plane, bearing the registration number A-1334, which had crashed while on its way from Timika to Wamena, West Papua, on December 18, 2016.
The aircraft had actually crashed near Mount Lisuwa quickly before landing at the Wamena Airport. At least 12 people had lost their lives in the crash.
The TNI AU described reports that a Hercules C-130 aircraft had recently crashed in Papua as a “hoax”, stating three of its Hercules C-130 planes are at the airbase.
” In (the December 18, 2016) mishap, 12 individuals fell victim,” Achmadi stated.
