Kids, wanna fly a fighter jet?

Featured Replies

When you fly Thai, pretend you’re in an Israel fighter plane!

This is the actual plane used, Sydney to Bangkok.

Thai Airways has responded to boycott action after a passenger flight with 321 people aboard was used to transport F-35 fighter jet parts. The parts were manufactured by Lockheed Martin, a major US war supplier, for transport to Israel’ smajor Nevarim Airbase 28 on September 17, 2025. The parts were offloaded from TG to El Al, Israel’s national airline on a commercial flight to Tel Aviv.

All El Al Israeli Airlines are fitted with Flight Guard, an anti-missile system. El Al is considered the safest airline in the world. No wonder.

It is unknown if Thai accepted F-35 parts subsequent but a more recent flight on February 26, 2026 has been mentioned.

Thai’s CEO, Chai Eamsiri, tried to weasel out of this by telling us the shipment was booked on Thai by a different airline, thereby shifting the blame.

He said the airline does not want to be involved in the conflict and will exercise greater caution in accepting cargo in future. Yeah, right.

Israeli F-35s at Nevarim Airbase in the Negev near Beersheba.

On the September 17, 2025 shipment, 61v human beings were murdered on Gaza, the same day the UN  found “Israel’s actions in Gaza constitute genocide”. At least 68 shipments of F-35 Joint Strike Fighter parts from October 23 (fancy timing, eh) have been flown on commercial passenger planes from Australia to Israel in the last month alone.

The parts were listed in the shipping manifests as:

  • Tie-rods for the F-35 plane’s aft tail rudder.

  • Inlet Lube Plates, shipped by THai.

  • Actuator for the door under the F-35 for dispersing InfraRed Counter Measures.

  • Display Visors for the specialised Generation III helmet worn by F-35 pilots.

  • Plus there are various radios, specialised parts, assemblies, switches, bushes, sleeves, valves, cables, nuts, packing material and other items, all designed for the F-35 fighter jets.

The F-35 Generation II Helmet Mounted Display System is manufactured by Elbit America, the Israeli company targeted in the UK by Palestine Action.

The parts are listed on the company website as “manufactured and maintained” in the UK, Canada, México, France, Netherlands and Czechia—but not in Australia or Israel. Why not??? Good money in war, eh.

However, Australia claims these parts are being sent to Israel “for repair”. And I have a fighter jet to sell you, call me.

It's called air freight.

Nothing to see here, nice along now.

If Thailand wants to stay neutral , it should not allow war materials

to pass through here.

It is because of the israeli's that many Thai people will be worse off

through high energy prices and inflation.

I don't understand why you are upset about this.

Um, because Israel is waging a three plus year war decimating Gaza...using those F35s. And now is bombing the <deleted> out of Iran and Lebanon...using those F35s.

Thailand is neutral. Our national carrier should not be carrying parts which will facilitate killing people.

Gaza reaps what it sows.
