There are tens of a total of 80 heads of households (KK) in the village of Gampong Mukhan who gave donations. At that time, residents are still economic difficulties, so not all help the purchase of aircraft.
"At that time people were busy donating to buy airplanes, but the residents in our village were not very busy, even though the donations were considered as bonds, but not all of them were donated because of the poor," he said.
Communities who have donated are then given evidence in the form of bonds. That is, the Indonesian government is in debt and will replace it within 40 years. "From the beginning of donating, I am sincere, promised to be replaced and returned, the country that owes us," said Nyak Sandang.
After donation money was collected entirely in Kewedanaan Aceh Jaya, then handed over to Sukarno. Just then bought a plane.
Nyak Sandang is very happy to know that Indonesia has a plane. He is grateful to be able to give something and help Indonesia. He also had time to see directly the plane that brought Sukarno to explore Indonesia by air.
"I've seen the plane when the plane flew to Meulaboh, West Aceh district We were all very excited when we pointed it out We grabbed our hands and said it was the plane we helped buy It's got us flying plane) us, "he said while smiling.
Dakota RI-001 aircraft tires have kissed a number of airstrips in Indonesia. Nevertheless, Nyak Sandang has never seen RI-001 from close range, let alone climbed it.
However, it does not necessarily make him ignore the evidence of bonds that have been received because it has contributed funds to purchase aircraft. Evidence of a piece of paper that he kept and keep well. Until now, the government has also not changed the donation of the purchase of the aircraft.
"The reason I keep it because my father told me, I have to take care of it as a sign of our meritorious to the government and Indonesia so that the government will also see us," he stressed.
