Head of the Indonesian Air Force Information Service (Kadispenau) First Marshal R. Agung Sasongkojati said that the Pegasus Dynamic Team usually only appeared at Air Force events, so his participation in the fly pass for the 78th Anniversary of the Republic of Indonesia became the first moment for them to appear in public.

That's very unique," said Kadispenau when met on the sidelines of a clean rehearsalfly pass at the South Terminal of Halim Perdanakusuma Air Base, Jakarta, reported by ANTARA, Tuesday, August 15.

He explained that it is important to show the attraction to the public so that the public understands the capabilities of Indonesian Air Force pilots.

"We have to show off to the public that the planes purchased at high prices can actually be used in other ways and the public has the right to know," said Agung Sasongkojati.

Kadispenau explained that the appearance of the Indonesian Air Force acrobatic pilots was also a matter of pride, so he hopes that in the future there will be many young people who are interested in becoming Indonesian Air Force pilots.

"We also want many young people to enter the world of aerospace, especially the Air Force, because we have a lot of planes, and we need a lot of pilots. This, before the crisis occurs, how do we invite the public, the public, to join the Air Force," said the Head of the Indonesian Air Force Information Service.
