Notes: February saw the Royal Thai Air Force
(RTAF) suffer its first casualties in fighting along disputed border areas with neighbouring Laos. Both countries lay claim to a 30 square mile area close to the Laotian capital of Vientiane some 250 miles north of Bangkok. During the short, sharp battle in the remote mountainous region, rich in timber, a RTAF F-5E Tiger II was brought down by a shoulder-fired Laotian SAM-7 on February 3rd. The pilot was killed. This appears to contradict the report that the pilot ejected safely - or were two F-5s brought down?? |
