crusty Posted July 15, 2010 Share Posted July 15, 2010 Chaweng just got buzzed three times by a tidy looking piece of flying kit. It had twin tails so could have been an F18 Hornet or the new F35 both of which Thailand does not have. Any air buffs out there ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rooo Posted July 15, 2010 Share Posted July 15, 2010 They come from the Air base at Suratthani. The 7th Wing is an interceptor and attack wing based at RTAFB Surat Thani in Suratthani province. But no twin tail, nor is it's replacement, Gripens. Unless it's visiting from somewhere else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gatorade Posted July 15, 2010 Share Posted July 15, 2010 I only heard it, but from the sound, my money is on an F5 from Surat, Possibly an F16 from Khorat. But if it definitely had a twin tailplane it could have been a visiting F15. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think this was our "big fellow", many years ago in training..... It buzzed Maenam too.... perhaps brought the good rain this evening too! Lately I've heard a number of planes during the night, around here... perhaps UFO's looking for UKW? Life on Samui never boring! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Northener Posted July 16, 2010 Share Posted July 16, 2010 It's an Alpha Jet Fighter. It's supposed to be a rain making machine that has Hygroscopic Flair Dispensers believe it or not. Having said that it did rain in Bangrak last night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VocalNeal Posted July 16, 2010 Share Posted July 16, 2010 With a bit of surfing one can discover that Malaysia has Su-30's And Singapore has F-15's. Indonesia in contrast has F-16's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
