This Freedom Fighters sits abandoned in one of the typical Vietnam war style shelters at Korat Air Base during exercise "Cope Tiger 2004". Korat RTAB was built and extensively used by the USAF during the Vietnam war. This particular airframe was delivered to Thailand under the Military Assistance Program (MAP) in April of 1967 and has had the following codes applied: "1312", "10312", "23121", "71141" and finally "70141". It was last based in Surat Thani in southern Thailand, hence the additional SRT code. Apparently, it went to Nakhon Nayok in 2006 with its original code "1312" re-applied.
