[khaosai]

This ones a given but how cool is that wing shape

[khaosai]

Two letters from the Thai City named in the picture are also contained in the aircraft manufacturers name, any ideas ?

Some great posts above, but maybe better to pause for a second to let everyone catch up with what you have posted.

Give the boys a chance to answer ...

I'm stymied. It appears to be a smaller Learjet but I can't nail it down. Best guess is a Lear Jet 28. No idea on the airline.

[David48]

Thanks for the guesses, but I can confirm that it's not ...

Cessna Citation? Siam General Aviation?

nor

a Lear Jet 28

The (small) fleet fly the Thai Flag ... so I presume locally registered.

[SinglePot]

Jeez. A tricky one.

Highly modified Vulcan bomber from a (small) airline run by a highly entrepreneurial hi-so Thai with a name that is a cross between Fernandez and Branson.

Shinawatra Air?

[David48]

Maybe take a different tact ... eliminate the plane manufacturer it isn't

Lear Jets

Cessna Family

Vulcan bomber ... 555

Who else makes smaller passenger Jets?

[SinglePot]

Mitshubishi.

Diamonds are forever.

Or a more cynical

Hawker 400

[VocalNeal]

Embraer but it has no winglets

It's a Beechjet 400A fleet bangkok jets

Well Neil ... I'm glad you were vocal.

So VocalNeil spotted it ...

It's a AC Aviation Beechjet 400A

Rego HS-BRM

They are a small Airline, consisting of just 2 Jets.

While they are marked as AC Aviation, their website is Bangkok Jets

[David48]

Just for something different ... ever wonder why you sometimes circle above an Airport?

A number of reasons ...

One being the wind changes and the Pilot must wait time and redirect the Aircraft to approach the airport from a different direction.

Planes are landing, approaching from the South as the prevailing wind is from the North, or it's relatively calm.

Suvarnabhumi Airport is that Blue Dot near the words Samut Prakan

Then the winds changes and (I presume) Air Traffic Control then direct incoming Aircraft to change their approach line.

The wind changed to blowing from the South, thus the plans try and fly 'into' the prevailing wind and approach from the North.

Any of the Aviation guys wish to add to that or correct my presumptions ...

Still working on the airline bit, I'm guessing private... A320 with aftermarket sharklets... At DMK...

[GrantSmith]

Airline: StarFlyer a Japanese - mostly domestic airline - so I'm guessing this is a charter?
