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.
