Your supposed to pull aircraft from the water and loving restore them not the other way around!

A story from April...

"MAI KHAO: Amidst great fanfare, a convoy of 15 flatbed trucks loaded with the remains of 10 decommissioned military aircraft arrived at the Tah Chat Chai checkpoint at 2 pm on Sunday after a three-day overland journey that began in Lopburi.

The convoy departed from Koke Krathiem Air Force Base in Lopburi with the partly disassembled aircraft on Friday.

The arrival of the four Douglas C-47 Dakota Skytrain military transport aircraft and six Sikorsky S-58T helicopters marks the penultimate leg of their final journey before they are sunk in the waters off Bang Tao."

There can never be too many C-47's flying around in my book!

Yeah all the reef crap is pure BS.

Funny how its okay to sink a ship or an aircraft in the ocean. But I bet if you tried to dump something of no value in it. Every EPA agency would be after you. I remember some years back an old heavy equipment wrecking yard was worrying about being shut down because of the rusty metal leaching into the water that ran to the ocean. Just constant games, is all it is. And so many dummys play into it all.

engguy....you know it is a frickin' government ran circumcission and special interest groups
