Indonesian Air Force Museum, Jogjakarta

Lots of interesting planes, and quite well kept, albeit the building itself is quite stuffy... Admission was cheap (Rp 5000, equivalent to US$ 0.60 in 2004), and for those who want to take photos, additional Rp 2000 per camera.

RI-X replica, a self-made light plane built by Wiweko Supeno (later founded Garuda Indonesia and became its CEO) in 1947 using Harley Davidson engine, which later converted using VW Beetle engine.

Piper Cub, early liason/trainer for the air force. Another replica of RI-X with VW engine can be seen in the background.
