The third Corsair on display at the museum is 1403.

Thailand ordered three ex US Navy P-3As in 1989 for coastal surveillance and transport duties. It wasn't until 1995 that the aircraft arrived after being modified to suit the Navy's requirements. Two were re-designated at P-3Ts when they entered service and a third was delivered as a UP-3T, however, this was modified to a VP-3T standard which this aircraft is, with seats installed and retaining a limited SENTAC station to perform surveillance duties. A further two P-3A examples also came to Thailand for use as spares, these never entered service. This 1206 is former US Navy 152184.

Part of the Navy Museum at U-Tapao is this Bell 214ST, 2305.

Marked as an A-7E it is actually a TA-7C Corsair II. Preserved at U-Tapao.

This is the twin seat Harrier on display at the U-Tapao museum. The Thai's acquired seven AV-8S and two tandem-seat TAV-8S Matador versions of the Harrier from the Spanish navy. The aircraft were obtained as part of a Thai navy order for an 11,500t Spanish-built light aircraft-carrier.
