After independence sixty Indonesian cadets attended the TALOA Academy of Aeronautics in Oakland, CA for flight training on PT-13s. The academy was established in 1946 as a division of Transocean Air Lines (TALOA), and the contract with the Indonesian government was their first major training contract. This PT-13 was acquired by the museum to represent those flown in 1950-51 but was originally 42-17485 for the USAAF. Post-war it was used as a crop duster however in 1978 was written off near Olathe, KS, while buzzing low and colliding with trees.
