farang 55 Posted August 6, 2006 Share Posted August 6, 2006 Hi, Did anyone notice the strange airplane movements today around 6 PM. The plane (not a Bangkok Air one) started to land several times but each time it went up again, flew round, tried again. After 3 or 4 times it actually landed but departed again after about 5 minutes. Not a big matter but I am just curious about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Farma Posted August 6, 2006 Share Posted August 6, 2006 It may have been a pilot under training or certification doing touch and goes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Samui Coconut Posted August 6, 2006 Share Posted August 6, 2006 Probably a member of the Thai Royal Family who visited the island. He is known to fly the aircarft himself. Happened many times before. That also explained the police at the airport. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gatorade Posted August 7, 2006 Share Posted August 7, 2006 Probably a member of the Thai Royal Family who visited the island. He is known to fly the aircarft himself. Happened many times before. That also explained the police at the airport. It is the personal aircraft of the Prince. He flies it himself as a qualified pilot. A number of approaches and overshoots were made to the Final Approach fix and to both ends of the runway. The aircraft is a B737-400 and is the only one of its kind allowed to operate into Samui as it operates within weight limitations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
