Talk:United States Air Force in Thailand

Peacock wording

"Out of the Thai bases flew the most extraordinary air-combat team that had ever been assembled."

Really? The most extraordinary *ever* assembled? This whole paragraph seems rather over the top in its writing style. Unless there's objection, I'd like to eliminate a bit of the puffery here and replace it with a little Plain English. Winterbadger (talk) —Preceding undated comment added 17:54, 16 June 2010 (UTC).

Map

...is lousy. Needs to show all of Vietnam, at least, and label all other countries. Labels need transparent bg (or at least tight to text, like Ubon & Nakhon). WP used to have such good maps ~ Sadsaque (talk) 04:16, 23 March 2016 (UTC)

In addition to the 388TFW was the 7th ABCCC. Flew C-130's with a command and control capsule loaded and controlled the air power into and out of the zone. 24 hour coverage 7 days a week.2601:280:5A80:3A00:9C42:BE4A:6F32:F0DF (talk) 23:55, 3 June 2017 (UTC)

"Thai air police controlled access to the bases; U.S. air police who helped them did carry weapons."

I was an air force security policeman stationed at U-Tapao in 1974/75. The title "air police" was changed to security police in 1966. We always carried weapons, and I never heard of them not carrying weapons at any time prior to the time I was there. Not only did we carry weapons at base entry points, but the units that defended the base perimeters carried M-16 rifles, grenade launchers and M-60 machine guns. It's possible that the Thai public and press were not told this, but it's not reality. A quick search engine check will show plenty of proof to the contrary.  2601:5CB:C300:8480:5D02:6E4E:94B6:D8D7 (talk) 19:41, 26 March 2023 (UTC)
