Greetings from Thailand

[GTX]

We are in the process of getting divorced. It is strangely amicable.

Oh...ok..I guess

 

[SaparotRob]

Interesting mix of aircraft there.

I found the fabled lost burial grounds of the Fan Trainer.

Wandering around the grounds.

Good shots!

If it doesn't have a plaque and it ain't 'Murican, I don't know what it is. Mostly.
There is a YT Channel, Ed Nash's Military Matters/Forgotten Aircraft, that has a video on the museum. It is, as mentioned, a replica. That much I remembered. He also has one on the Fan Trainer in Thai service.

Walking around the grounds pt II.

The stand selling toy airplanes and gliders.

Oops

Did you guys know the wings of an F-5 are made with a honeycomb structure? There's a lengthy stenciled warning about something about it by the wing root. I didn't have enough time to read it while rescuing my granddaughter's glider.

 

[Snautzer01]

Very nice.

 

[SaparotRob]

If I was going to be in Thailand, I had to see that Corsair, upper wing mounted guns and all, up close. The rest of the pics felt obligatory.
The bipes and inter war birds were pretty ****ing cool though!

Great photography and a fantastic museum. Did I see an OV-10 in the line?

Yes and I'm kicking myself for being distracted by the AT-6 and not taking shots of the Bronco.

 

[Capt. Vick]

This? Actually it's a homegrown design, the RTAF-5, that definately took design tips from the Bronco.

 

[special ed]

The Bronco was hiding just beyond the Spitfire.

 

[ARTESH]

What is that Rescue [Sea?] Plane in post #30?

 

[Wurger]

What is that Rescue [Sea?] Plane in post #30?

INHO that's a Grumman G-44A Widgeon. The US Navy and Coast Guard marking Grumman J4F and OA-14 by the USAAF

The Bronco was hiding just beyond the Spitfire.

So I'm scrawling through the tiny little pics looking for the Bronco 'cause I know I walked by it. The order I posted them is not in the same order I took them. So it's next to a tiny AT-6 photo in my phone. You're all being very cruel to me and I'm now I am sad. This is the last time I divorce a woman and haul her butt back to Thailand just to take pictures of a "What is it" airplane.
I hope you are happy.
