EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph, the NAMC YS-11A PK-PYV, registration number of Tjepu, MSN 2170, is seen gracefully taking off from the runway. This aircraft, manufactured by Nihon Aircraft Manufacturing Corporation (NAMC) of Japan, is a twin-engine turboprop airliner that was introduced in the late 1960s. The YS-11A was designed to cater to the short-haul transportation market, offering seating for up to 30 passengers. The PK-PYV, operated by Pelita Air Service - Pertamina, is depicted in its distinctive livery, featuring the Pelita Air Service logo on the fuselage and the Pertamina insignia on the tailfin. The year is estimated to be around 1975, based on the era of the aircraft's design and the livery. The YS-11A was known for its advanced features, including a T-tail design, which improved stability and reduced drag, and a high-mounted wing, which provided better ground clearance and improved visibility for the pilots. The aircraft's twin engines, located under the wings, offered increased power and efficiency, making it a popular choice for regional airlines. As the PK-PYV lifts off, it leaves a trail of dust behind, signaling the start of another journey. The photograph captures the raw power and grace of the YS-11A, showcasing the beauty and sophistication of aviation technology during the mid-1970s. The image serves as a reminder of the rich history of aviation and the role that companies like NAMC and Pelita Air Service played in shaping the industry.
