Old Croc Posted January 14, 2017 Share Posted January 14, 2017 (edited) I thought we had a Red Dawn happening at Chalong! Very low and fast circles over the area, only one fighter I think. Not normal here, no nearby bases. If it's followed up with parachutists I'm heading for the mountain. Edited January 14, 2017 by Old Croc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was once literally knocked off a barstool at Pt Hedland by a smartarse wannabe Tom Cruise F16 pilot, who thought it would be funny to do a sonic boom over the building. (Oz and Yanks used to conduct war games in the area. The terminal was empty apart from me, the barmaid and a cleaner) I later had a good look over the plane when it was sitting on the tarmac. Todays flyover was loud, but sub-sonic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ezzra Posted January 14, 2017 Share Posted January 14, 2017 In a normal country, a complain would be logged and the Top Fool will get reprimanded for such stunts, but TIT.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
harrry Posted January 14, 2017 Share Posted January 14, 2017 Sad...I recall there was an accident with a previous Children's Day display. I guess this wil end them which will be a sad loss. I still remember he aerial displays when I was young (not in Thailand) and the oportunities to actually sit in a Sabre cockpit and be told how to fly...I was about 10 by the person who flew it for real.

johng Posted January 14, 2017 Share Posted January 14, 2017 I think there is a major accident of some sort at every Children's day display a few years ago it was one of those giant inflatable bouncy castles that was blown away by the wind.

Are you a member of the 'Air Accidents Investigation Branch' investigating the Shoreham Hunter crash. I don't think the final report has been published yet.

BORRISGOODENUF Posted January 14, 2017 Share Posted January 14, 2017 I certainly do not agree with any low flying over a built up area, and definitely not below 500 ft. It is indeed a disaster waiting to happen. Beat-ups are for the airstrip! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SunsetT Posted January 14, 2017 Share Posted January 14, 2017 1 hour ago, johng said: Its probably a show of force for "Childrens Day" Yes, This usually happens all week over Udon Thani...Practising for the annual Children's Day display at the airport on Saturday....today. Forget the noise! 1) How about the safety of jets daily screaming low over a built up area! 2) The city kids can see it every weekday so the display on Saturday has little appeal for them! They could easily practise more safely over the countryside and give the village kids a treat too. But hey! Thats too logical for Thailand.
