Head of the Air Force Information Service (Kadispenau) Marsma TNI Indan Gilang Buldansyah explained the roar that Jakarta residents often heard. This voice comes from fighter aircraft. The fighter that passed through the Jakarta sky was practicing in the context of the 77th Anniversary of the Indonesian Air Force at Halim Perdanakusuma Air Base. "The maneuver was fast just before crossing the Halim Perdanakusuma Air Base Taxi Way Echo, they had a holding point, each one in the south in the Cibinong area, east in Bekasi, some reached north. That's what caused the sound of the plane," said Indan at Halim Perdanakusuma Air Base, Antara, Thursday, April 6. He also explained that there were simulations of water-to-water, namely very low-flying fighter aircraft. This made people hear the sound of the plane so loud. "Because the flying is very low, yes (the sound of the plane sounds strong) especially the people here," he said. He explained that the peak commemoration of the 76th Anniversary of the Indonesian Air Force will be held on Sunday at Halim Perdanakusuma Air Base. According to him, the Indonesian Air Force will prepare parking points where people can use Trans Halim to get directly to Halim Perdanakusuma Air Base. He admitted that there were no special requirements to attend the ceremony to commemorate the 77th Anniversary of the Indonesian Air Force. The clean rehearsal for the TNI AU 77th Anniversary ceremony was held at Halim Perdanakusuma Air Base on Thursday (6/4) at around 08.00 WIB. The first attraction was opened by the AU Military Academy (Akmil) cadets marching band. Then there was also an air demonstration in the form of appearances of Indonesian Air Force aircraft and simulations of the release of hostages (basra) by Kopasgat troops. Dozens of Pasgat weapons of various types also took part in the defile.
