www.pattayamail.com/ATTAHIP:--A military jet rolling down the highway created a sensation as the Royal Thai Navy moved one of its long-unused A-7E Corsair II bombers to the Naval Education Center in Sattahip. A large tractor towed the Vietnam-era jet along highways 331 and 332 July 23, drawing large crowds of picture takers, many of whom had never seen a military bomber close up. The navy purchased 14 A-7E and four TA-7C airplanes for coastal defense and sea patrol duties in 1991 and the first planes were delivered in 1995. The remained operational until 2007 and have been kept air-ready since, although none have been flown. - See more at: -- Pattaya Mail 2015-07-31

The museum is a good place for it. Although I detest what they are designed for there is something strangely beautiful about military aircraft.

I will add my two pennyworth to the matter the sight of a military aircraft.
When one is in a contact situation with less than friendly military personnel that sight and sound is I assure you a most welcome duo of sensations and it is so heartwarming too.
However I also agree with me that the job they are built for is somewhat disturbing.
Oh that the people in this world could live in peace with each other!!
The world is a great place, it's the people who live in or on it who cause the problem(s)
