Description
Adisutjipto Air Force Base is a Type A installation of the Indonesian Air Force located in Maguwoharjo, Sleman Regency, Special Region of Yogyakarta, Indonesia. The land is owned by the Indonesian Air Force, and the base hosts the Indonesian Air Force Academy as well as the headquarters of the Flying Training Wing. Stationed operational units include the 101st Training Squadron, which operates Grob G 120TP-A aircraft; the 102nd Training Squadron, which operates KAI KT-1 Woongbi aircraft; and the 104th Training Squadron. The base shares its airfield infrastructure with a civilian enclave passenger terminal managed by InJourney Airports.
The facility was established in 1940 as Maguwo Airfield by the Dutch East Indies colonial government for the Royal Netherlands East Indies Army Air Force. During World War II, the airfield hosted the Dutch 2nd Cooperation Squadron (Verkenningsafdeling 2) operating Curtiss-Wright CW-22 and Fokker C.X aircraft, alongside elements of the United States Army Air Forces Fifth Air Force. Following the Japanese invasion in 1942, the Imperial Japanese Navy Air Service operated the site, basing the 31st Air Group there and constructing defensive fortifications.
Indonesian forces took control of the airfield in October 1945. A flight school established at the site in November 1945 served as the precursor to the Indonesian Air Force Academy. Dutch military forces captured the airfield during Operation Kraai in December 1948, maintaining control until transferring the facility back to Indonesian authorities under the 1949 Roem–Van Roijen Agreement. The base was renamed on 17 August 1952 in honor of Agustinus Adisutjipto, a former pilot and key figure in the establishment of the Indonesian Air Force.
The airbase was designated a joint civil-military facility in 1964. Installations within the airbase complex include military flight training structures, World War II-era underground bunkers, and the Dirgantara Mandala Museum, which serves as the official museum of the Indonesian Air Force.
