Monumen Husein Sastranegara

This monument was dedicated to Husein Sastranegara (1919-1946), one of Indonesia’s aviation heroes. He was once assigned as director of the now Husein Sastranegara International (HSI) Airport and military air force base, though only for a short period. He died during a test flight of the Cukiu airplane in Yogyakarta on September 26 1946, at the age of 27.
