The Thai Air Force Museum is on the west side of Don Muang Airport on the north side of Bangkok. It is definitely worth a visit.

The Tango Squadron is based out of Chaing Mi in northern Thailand.

Agree with the previous posters, the Thai airforce museum in BKK is worth a look, although it is on the other side of town from the new international airport, Taxi's are cheap! Hong Kong, unfortunately, is pretty much a dead loss in the Warbird department.

There is a floating hotel very near the bridge. All the hotel and walkways are on drop tanks.(F4 ?)

Thanks for the replies guys. I will try to get a picture of the F-4 drop tanks near the bridge, and will try to see the Thai Air Force Museum. Our time there will limit us to Bangkok. I'll try to not get into too much trouble. 8) :lol:
