Air activity
Re: Air activity
Near Nong Hin, Loei must be directly on the flight path. Fairly often two or three pass directly over our house. They rattle the windows. A couple days ago at least ten went over. That was very unusual.
Re: Air activity
What? B52's?!
What direction were they headed?

Re: Air activity
To the Love Shack - obviously.
There's even a cameo from KP in his heyday, at 1.41, and other places.
But the highlight is probably Rand Paul in his youth (as lead singer), before he transitioned into being a full-on diicckhead politician.

Re: Air activity
as in all Google Maps sat views the date is unknown but this from my previous viewings of Nam Phong Airfield seem to be much newer. It appears some improvements/cleanups/upgrades are going on..https://www.google.co.th/maps/@16.66731 ... !1e3?hl=en

Re: Air activity
there will be some sad businesses in Udon Thani if the Singaporean Air Force move their training to Nam Phong. The nearest "acceptable" accomodations barring the Singaporeans actually building quarters at Nam Phong are in Khon Kean...
Dave
Re: Air activity
I wonder if the planned move has anything to do with the planned AOT takeover of Udon's airport.
Re: Air activity
If Wing 23 is not going to move then I doubt it.. Unless of course AOT plan on increasing flights and perhaps, finally, adding international arrivals.. Then the time blocks for military aircraft operations would be tight...

Re: Air activity
Really last time they tried to make it an International AQirport the ETP Immigration Division eventually refused to man it correctly and that died a death.
his time we will see...bated breath time with a lot of praying, because it was going to be cheaper to fly Udon /Singapore then London rather than trek down to BKK

Taking account of your normal sloppy writing fashion, I hazard a guess you mean "Airport" and "RTP".Khun Paul wrote: ↑February 7, 2022, 6:41 pmReally last time they tried to make it an International AQirport the ETP Immigration Division eventually refused to man it correctly and that died a death.

Do you have a source for your assertion the previous failure of UT Airport to maintain international status was down to Immigration not putting up the manpower?
Because my memory was that Tiger Air, who started a (regrettably) short lived UTH - SIN direct service made the decision to put their planes into a new venture in Australia. Which I presume they saw as more sustainable and profitable.
Re: Air activity
Well when Tigere were flying, Immigration officers only turned up when the plane was flying and I recall one occasion when it could NOT disembark as NO IO's were p[resent.
Yes I am aware of Tiger Air move to a more lucarative route, helped maybe by the reluctance of RTP to properly staff the Airport .

Re: Air activity
with AOT running the airport and considering the renovation/addition there built Custom/Immo processing lanes I don't think getting the Immgration people to staff it when international flights are regularly scheduled will be a problem.

Re: Air activity
One hopes not, I did make enquires before the Pandemic of travelling to Laos and then onwards to London UK, as it was cheaper than going via BKK, since 2020 obviously that option off the ideas list, maybe later
