Bangkok International Airport, 14th Jan'06
Sat 14th Jan was "Children's Day" in Thailand. This meant that the military side of the airport was open, with access close to the shorter runway, mainly used for landings, The problem was FOG....! We weren't able to see anything hardly before 0900. So many of the civil airlines, whose a/c had diverted away, requested the airport cancel the flying displays at the airshow, to allow time for their schedules to catch up. So, no flying displays, but some good Military a/c there. Here goes with the shots:
