C123 Provider preserved in Thailand

Jolly good detective work! 🙂

…Imagine the “C123J” if it had ever been built!

Actually, there were ten of them. 😀

Thanks for posting, I like the props they put on her. Is that what they mean by “flat” pitch?:diablo:

Flat pitch and Q tips? Anyway it was a nice plane. Imagine the “C123J” if it had ever been built!

Is that a book or a web site?

It’s a book, published by Mach III.

Could this be a provider that was used in the filming of Air America?:) I belive they crashed one with the biggest bit remaining the fuselage, as the pics show the rest of it is quite a mess:)

Note the props

Hi!!

I tried to find this aircraft on the internet and there is no mention of it anywhere. Could this be a new survivor?

Paul,
It’s at Muak Lek, and has been there since April 1995 at least, as listed in my “World Military Out of Service”.
Its serial has never been established.

two more

Two more south east of Bangkok on Sukhumvit road,one in a filling station and another in a heavy equipment yard.Probably more lurking about somewhere!C-46 fuselage in a tech college in Udon Thani,maybe the rest is there somewhere!

Good photos considering! The Royal Thai Air Force had Providers so it may be one of these, I don’t know. Two of theirs are c/n 54-0555 (preserved in museum) and c/n 56-4357.
