Rimmer Posted July 31, 2015 Share Posted July 31, 2015 Bomber on highway draws shutterbugs in Sattahip SATTAHIP:--A military jet rolling down the highway created a sensation as the Royal Thai Navy moved one of its long-unused A-7E Corsair II bombers to the Naval Education Center in Sattahip. A large tractor towed the Vietnam-era jet along highways 331 and 332 July 23, drawing large crowds of picture takers, many of whom had never seen a military bomber close up. The navy purchased 14 A-7E and four TA-7C airplanes for coastal defense and sea patrol duties in 1991 and the first planes were delivered in 1995. The remained operational until 2007 and have been kept air-ready since, although none have been flown. - See more at: http://www.pattayamail.com/localnews/bomber-on-highway-draws-shutterbugs-in-sattahip-49481#sthash.cJ0r7do4.dpuf -- Pattaya Mail 2015-07-31 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tomacht8 Posted July 31, 2015 Share Posted July 31, 2015 Rear Adm. Wasansap Chanwarin, director of the navy’s U-Tapao airfield, said there were no parts or budget to continue to maintain the aircraft, so they will all be moved to museums and educational institutions. Hopefully Thailand and the taxpayers will spared the submarine fate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
