While the Royal Thai Air Force (RTAF) Academy was founded in 1952/3, the jet fighters were mounted high on their respective stands in 2013, to commemorate the 100 year anniversary of the RTAF, which commenced in 1913!
History
"The Royal Thai Air Force Aviation Park has been the brainchild of Air Chief Marshal Itthaporn Subhawong, ex-Commander-in-Chief, for the Centennial of the RTAF Founding Fathers' Aviation, and in recognition of all air force heroes in defence of their homeland.
"The RTAF Aviation Park exhibits main jet fighters of four generations of RTAF's glorious fleet, in a diamond-formation static display, and the development in air power respectively. The cockpit of the F-16A reaching up 100 feet from the base signifies the Centennial of the RTAF Founding Fathers' Aviation."
