If your referring to the engine overhauled/donated by Indonesia; I'm guessing so!

What’s happening with P2-PNG? It’s still in the grave yard with the Virgin ATR and P2-EUV.

Thought the King Air would have been an excellent asset for the PNGDF, where is the XM Falcon these days?😀😀😀

P2-PNG in front of the Jet Aviation (Hawkers) hangar, with a nice new paint job, just waiting for engines to arrive back from overhaul.

EUV moved from the graveyard to Hawkers hangar, for engine relacement. Dr. Mua (owner) has found the $$$

Falcon 900 still parked in Sydney; needs flight crew and $$$

The third and final PAC-750 gifted under the Aid programme has arrived in Port Moresby
Assuming this will become P2-703, delivered as ZK-EPN

Apart from leased helicopters PNGDF appears to have 3 serviceable PAC's and two un-airworthy CASA 235's

The Falcon (Prime Ministers PMV) has been back in service for a while and seems to keep pretty busy.
