The MP was there to book the pilot for ilegal parking.

At least this one didn't disappear.

True but I wouldn't mind betting the pilot wished it had

If I was him I'd be up on the nose cone taking selfies.....something to show the kids one day

"The plane is among two jet fighters from Chiang Mai’s Wing 41 airbase"

So they apparently had 2 which were airworthy. (not really fighters, only trainers) Now they have 1.

Wrong sort of hub on the runway but rather like a golf trolley with a remote caddy one more jerk and its in the hole.

Congratulations ,perhasp they should stick to driving buses,oh no hang on pink bent lees

Did the pilot ran away from the accident?

At least this one didn't disappear.

You mean like the one that got repossessed in mid flight from that failing airline ! I think Boeing sent in the bailiff thugs to repo it !.

To my surprise Russia jets are much more better then American , in terms of maintance, aerodynamic,speed etc , we only get information that F-22 are the best, if there are a dog fight between two I not sure what we think were right.

It is all academic. Nothing in the world will beat a Mig 29/30/31 in a turning fight, simple, but it is irrelevant when as Local Drunk says these high tech combat aircraft are not meant to 'dogfight' any more. The Migs would be toast before the American aircraft even came up on their radars. The Americans can launch a fire and forget missile from 100 miles, land on the carrier and be pouring the first cup of tea as his missiles take out the Russians (a very slight exaggeration but you get the point).

I think they took the "Ground Attack" exercise a bit too literally.

More like "TARGET FIXATION" LOL

Off topic but discussing capabilities, CONCORD in 1969 was faster than most of the American and Russian fighters, and had fuel and 100+ passengers on board. mach 2 + no need for the missiles it would outrun them

And of course that was all based on an amazing bit of British technology called the TSR2. The aircraft was so advanced for its time that had the British Government gone ahead with it we would have been at the forefront of Global aviation technology for years, probably still now, and would have had a supersonic bomber the likes of which would have made the Russians quake in terror. Sadly the Government axed the project. There are two TSR2's in existence, one at the RAF Museum Cosford and the other at the RAF Museum at Henlow London (I think). Amazing to look at these aircraft with valve technology and wonder 'what if'. I think it was Wilson who axed the project, one of his biggest mistakes, though having said that I now need to Google to find out.

Didn't they use the fairy Delta Nose tech to put on the Concord nose ??

It had a drop nose for landing, memories.

We were that advanced the Americans were shy--they never bought a Concord but it was used mainly by American businessmen.

Breakfast in London lunch in NY.

On topic, Thai have bought so many different types of aircraft for the RTAF. My thinking would be to buy a very versatile Trainer/attack easier maintain not so many spares-training less complicated. and update whenever. After all Thai need them for defending from WHO ?? spending on kids toys comes to mind.

Perhaps as it was a strafing exercise the guy was searching for the gun button, which it doesn't have......Drat and double drat...........

Seeing this article doesn't seem to have long legs, I have a segway question.

Does anyone know where the aerial bombing range is around Korat? Inside the airbase someplace? I'm about 30 driving kliks NW of the city and the explosions yesterday were 5x5, Lima Charlie. 1st one got me straight out of my chair.

Hello All, are you sure that the noise was not from going too fast?

We get Boom's every now and then.

I'm a little over 5Km out from the runway on the E. side of town, and

didn't know about the crash, There has been training going on since

Cobra Gold finished, but the pix's are from this past week from the

front yard.

ps, these are phone pix's, sorry for the quality

No, this wasn't sonic boom, this was big boom. Not Soi 6 Boom Boom. High explosive boom boom.

Looks like a job well done. Kit in one big piece. probably had a gear problem And did a belly job on the grass. Wish I could 'em the first round at the officers club.
