Graced with glorious sunshine all day - and thus the sun against you in the morning - the open house was limited to the north western side of the base where the Royal Thai Navy is based. On static display:

plus the above 212 as well as 2 T337s which I captured on film and thus evade ID now. Will come in a few weeks.
In the afternoon a different F-16 with 100 years markings did a nice display; again on film..
1110 Do.228 also flew
Plus the S-76, 1111 and 645 2213 again.
Parked near the RTN hangar was F-27-200ME 1201; no access possible to their ramp.
On the ramp were:
164106RU KC-130T
168066QD KC-130J
AV-8A 3106 could be seen in front of a RTN building a few 100 years south of the RTN ramp.
All preserved aircraft near the gate still there.
Lots of folks around, but not as busy as Don Mueang the last few years. Had to wait for an hour past the official closing time at 4 pm to be able to photograph the static display.
