Geocache Description:

I love Geocaching in Jakarta because if you look beneath the surface city, there are actually many interesting places to explore that's off the beaten track. One of them is the Museum Satria Mandala, the Indonesian Armed Forces Museum in Jakarta


Jakarta


The Museum Satria Mandala, the main Indonesian Armed Forces Museum in Jakarta. Opened on 5 October 1972, it is located on 5.6 hectares (14 acres) of land in South Jakarta and holds numerous artefacts, weapons, and vehicles. There are various exhibition halls and several war machines, mostly on the museum grounds. This includes the ship KRI Pattimura, which saw action in Papua; many aircrafts and land machines such as tanks, ambulances, and a Willys MB belonging to General Sudirman. Sudirman (24 January 1916– 29 January 1950) was a high-ranking Indonesian military officer during the Indonesian National Revolution. The became first commander-in-chief of the Indonesian Armed Forces and he continues to be widely respected in the country - Wikipedia.

This cache can only be obtained during the opening times of the museum, which is 9am to 2.30pm each day except for Monday when it is closed.


The coordinates will lead you to the musuem grounds near where a number of aircraft are displayed. To get the final coordinates, answer the following questions about the planes on display:
