The Indonesian Air Force (TNI AU) on Monday forced down an aircraft believed to be a US military transport aircraft for entering Indonesian airspace without proper clearances.

Intercepted at about 2 p.m., the twin turboprop Dornier 328 was flying from Maldives to Singapore via Sri Lanka.

TNI AU personnel checked the aircraft with tail number 13075 to ensure it was not carrying certain goods.

While the TNI AU claims the aircraft is a US military aircraft, it does not have the US military roundel nor US civilian registration.

The only registration is its tail number, 13075, without any additional markings.

C-146A 11-3075 has been active in Asia of late.It first appeared in Don Muang on Christmas Eve last year and was last noted in Thailand in early March.there's 2 of there C-146As in the Far East at any one time,the second is currently 10-3077.

Each airplane remains in theater for around six months,so 11-3075 should be due for replacement within the next month.

Their main operating base in Asia is not known,but Paya Lebar AB is thought likely.
