Is an aircraft a military vehicle?
I was a flying crew chief of a 1943 C-47 in 1969 in Thailand.
Does anybody have any info on USAF C-47s used in Thailand,
and given to the Thai Air Force?
Heard they flew to Oshkosh Wisconsin to get Basler turbo conversions.
Base Flight, U-Tapao Thailand, the base commander's personal aircraft,
1943 C-47D, 43-48562 and 43-48257.
Also C-47D tail number 827 as used by an army group in Bangkok,
a few years earlier.
