Travel Stories - Enjoying the Beautiful View of "the First Airplane of the Republic of Indonesia"

Good evening steem-traveler friends, in this post I will take you on vacation to Aceh, to be precise in one of the provinces in Indonesia. Aceh is also one of the most unique provinces in Indonesia, one of the reasons is because it is at the very end of the Indonesian state. To be precise, Aceh is the most remote province that will always maintain the sovereignty of the Indonesian state. If you want to visit Aceh, you only need about 2 hours by plane from the capital Jakarta.

Airplanes are one of the most powerful means of transportation when you travel long distances, just as if you want to fly to Aceh from downtown Jakarta. Talking about planes, in this post we will tell you a little about the journey of the Indonesian people from the importance of Aceh's role with the first Republic of Indonesia plane. Aceh and the first Indonesian plane had a very memorable story, where the struggle of the Acehnese people had a tremendous impact on the progress of the Indonesian nation at that time.

This Old Iron that looks so dashing is the first Indonesian Aircraft, "Dakota Seulawah RI-01" that's the name of history with a myriad of important events for the progress of the Indonesian state. The Dakota Seulawah RI-01 aircraft became a witness in helping the independence of the Republic of Indonesia. This aircraft is located at Blang Padang Field - Kp. New, District. Baiturrahman, Banda Aceh City, Aceh 23116. Not far from the Baiturrahman Grand Mosque in Banda Aceh and the Aceh Tsunami Museum.

A little review of the story of the creation of the Dakota Seulawah RI-01 aircraft. At that time, on June 16, 1948, Indonesia's first president Soekarno visited Aceh. Precisely in Blang Padang, President Soekarno delivered an important speech about political diplomacy, so that the Indonesian state needed airplanes as a means of transportation. Since then, the people of Aceh have welcomed and managed to raise funds to buy the Dakota Seulawah RI-01 aircraft. Then the plane was used in the struggle for independence of the Republic of Indonesia.

If you visit Aceh, it's incomplete if you haven't visited this one place, an important historical heritage with a million memories, during the second military aggression, this plane also broke through the Dutch defense. Banda Aceh city center does have many historical places to visit, for example the Baiturrahman Grand Mosque in Banda Aceh, Baiturrahman Grand Mosque is a symbol of the splendor of Islam in Aceh and is also a silent witness to the struggle of the Acehnese people to defend their territory from colonialism.

Uniquely, the Dakota Seulawah RI-01 aircraft and the Baiturrahman Grand Mosque in Banda Aceh remained strong after being hit by the 2004 tsunami. You will find more unique things in aceh when you visit here. The Blang Padang field where the Dakota Seulawah RI-01 aircraft is on display is also a place for young people from Aceh to gather and exercise. This is my first post on steem-traveler, then we will meet the story of traveling and other exciting trips.
