Spotlight on the Royal Thai Air Force
After the retirement of the T-28D trainer aircraft during 1981-1985, the Royal Thai Air Force initiated a project to procure new aircraft to replace the 13th B-13 squadron. Two aircraft models were proposed for consideration: the F-16A/B Block 15OCU and the F-20. The Royal Thai Air Force selected the winning model as the F-16A/B Block 15OCU, but the US government wanted Thailand to procure the F-16/79 in accordance with the aforementioned policy. สล็อต
