chezy86 Posted August 17, 2017 Share Posted August 17, 2017 Anybody know why they have erected an aircraft near Tops in Khao Noi?. Better still does anyone know what type of aircraft it is can't seem to find it on Google.

The wife asked one of the ladies in the food hall and they reckon it's going to be another market there unless anyone knows otherwise.Sent from my iPhone using Thailand Forum - Thaivisa mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd have expected them to use Thai Air Force markings if they're using it for a decoration. Or maybe Chinese PLA just to add a touch of intrigue at the market.

Dipterocarp Posted August 17, 2017 Share Posted August 17, 2017 There seems to be many of the same type of German model Jet training plane around Thailand. All junked. Boats and airplanes require constant maintenance, costs money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wander around Arizona on Google earth and you'll see hundreds (thousands?) of junked aircraft in the care of the richest, most wasteful military in the world. In several boneyards. At some point, they either hour out structurally, become obsolete or cost too much to maintain. http://www.airplaneboneyards.com/davis-monthan-afb-amarg-airplane-boneyard.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KhunBENQ Posted August 18, 2017 Share Posted August 18, 2017 Even deserted 747 Jumbo jets are parked in the middle of nowhere in Thailand. Even in Bangkok there is supposed to be an airplane "graveyard". And the little plane in the OP has done it's job: it attracted your attention so much that you would post in Thaivisa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
digbeth Posted August 18, 2017 Share Posted August 18, 2017 I've seen fencing business that buys up whole aircraft to melt down and make aluminium fencing in their yard quite often Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dipterocarp Posted August 18, 2017 Share Posted August 18, 2017 https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/RFB_Fantrainer So here is why large numbers of these strange looking planes are junked in Thailand "The Royal Thai Air Force used the FT400 and FT600 versions to train ab initio pilots who then went on to fly the Northrop F-5E fighter aircraft".
