Merpati later returned Goose PK-RAM to the military. Paul Howard tracked it down in storage at Kalijati air base in 1995 with other museum aircraft.  Civil markings had been removed and  indonesian national insignia added.

Goose PK-RAM was leased from an Indonesian military museum collection in 1976 by Merpati Nusantara Airlines for a contract with Total Oil in Sulawesi, the former Celebes. Here it is water taxying on the River Lariang in 1977 when collecting an exploration party to fly them to Macassar, now renamed Ujung Pandung.         Photo by David Clegg     by goodall com au

                                                                            

        

                    Grumman G-21 Goose Pesawat Intai Amphibi AURI yang legendaris

Grumman JRF Goose

Pesawat amphibi buatan Amerika ini pernah digunakan TNI-AU, nih ada crita dari Om Marco di web Indoflyernet:http://www.indoflyer.net/forum/tm.asp?m=539526&mpage=3&key=

The registration PK-AKA was used twice, and both times on a Grumman G-21A Goose. 
The first one was pre-war, used by Shell, and captured by the Japanese at Andir in 1942. 
The second one (c/n 1107) was also used by Shell in Indonesia, purchased in the USA and arriving in 1946. 
There were actually two Goose PK-AKA and PK-AKB (c/n 1115), operating in Kalimantan. 
The two Goose are reported as having been transferred to AURI during the late 1950's,where they became PB-518 and PB-521 with Skadron 5. 
An American report from 1961 mentions 2 Goose in use with AURI, but without indication of registration/serial. 
If no switch in registrations, PK-AKB is the Goose preserved at Kalijati (PB-521). 
PK-AKA reportedly was handed over to Merpati during the 1970's (photo anybody?) 
Cheers!
