The Indonesian Air Force features the attraction of nine F16 Fighting Falcon fighter aircraft as part of a series of Commemoration Ceremonies for the Seconds of the Proclamation in the context of the 79th Anniversary of the Republic of Indonesia at the State Palace of IKN, East Kalimantan.

"We witnessed together with the air demonstration performance from Garuda Flight, the F16 Fighting Falcon fighter," said Aviation Captain I Putu Satrya Kedaton when guiding the fighter attraction at the State Palace of IKN, East Kalimantan, as reported by ANTARA, Saturday, August 17.

Satrya said the attraction was in order to celebrate the 79th Anniversary of the Republic of Indonesia.

He explained that there were three maneuvers displayed by the F16 Fighting Falcon.

The first maneuver is called High-G Turn, which allows pilots to make sharper turns than usual. Then, there is a high speed spiral climate maneuver, and the last one is the bomb burst maneuver.

"Next is a happy birthday directly from the cockpit of the F16 Fighting Falcon fighter," said Satrya.

The demonstration finally closed with a happy birthday from one of the F16 Fighting Falcon pilots, as well as by Satrya.

Dirgahayu Republik Indonesia. Nusantara baru, Indonesia maju, kata Satrya mengakhiri attractor dari TNI AU.

This year's series of agendas to commemorate the 79th Anniversary of the Republic of Indonesia was held in two locations simultaneously and connected (hybrid), namely the State Palace of the Capital City of the Archipelago (IKN) and at the Merdeka Palace, Jakarta.

The 79th Anniversary of the Republic of Indonesia is also a special momentum because for the first time the heirloom flag was flown during the commemoration of the Republic of Indonesia's Independence Day in the new capital city.

This year, the theme of the Indonesian Independence Day is "Nusantara Baru Indonesia Maju" which shows the momentum of Indonesia's transition, namely in welcoming the new capital city of the archipelago, and the transition of government.
