In 2015, this Willow was in a poor condition, covered in dust in the Satria Mandala museum. Fortunately, it since then moved to its new location and now is nicely displayed indoors. During the Japanese occupation of the then Dutch East Indies, Japan delivered these aircraft to the newly established Indonesian AF. In December 1948, however, the Dutch military captured Magoewo airfield and captured all Willows. After the transfer of power to Indonesia in 1949, the aircraft, including this TJ-62, were handed back to the TNI-AU.

Yokosuka K5Y. Called Cureng or Churen by Indonesians. The name Cureng or Churen comes from the abbreviation of its function chuukan-renshuuki, namely intermediate level training aircraft (chu-ren). Cureng became an icon of Indonesia's physical struggle against the Dutch in the 1945-1950 period.

A rare K5Y 'Willow', one of a number of leftover Japanese aircraft used by the fledgling Indonesian air force. The Indonesians called the type Cureng, or Tjoereng in a Dutch-influenced spelling, hence the serial. Apparently it's a word of Japanese origin meaning 'intermediate trainer'.
