The Royal Thai Air Force says a two-seat AT-6 training aircraft crashed during a flight in Chiang Mai’s Jom Thong district, killing both pilots. Public procurement records show the RTAF commissioned eight AT-6TH Wolverine light attack aircraft with 411 Squadron, Wing 41, at Chiang Mai Air Base in September last year, as part of a 12-aircraft purchase to replace ageing L-39ZA/ART Albatros jets.

The last surviving pilot from the police aircraft crash in Hua Hin district, Prachuap Khiri Khan province, passed away on Friday afternoon.
