A Fokker 27, owned by the Indonesian Air Force, crashed into a housing complex during approach into Jakarta on 21 June 2012. The aircraft was on a training flight on the day of the crash. Six of the seven crew members on board died immediately; the copilot succumbed to his injuries later, while four people on the ground were also killed, with 11 other people injured.
