The Coral Reef Squadron arrives!
JUST PASSING THROUGH: One of the 15 flatbed trucks transporting the Coral Reef Squadron passes through the Tah Chat Chai checkpoint on Sunday.
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 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 Andaman Sea.
On May 5, the aircraft skeletons are dropped to create an artificial reef in the hope that it will attract marine life and become a popular new dive site.
The aging aircraft, which have been dubbed the Coral Reef Squadron, are US-built and served in the Vietnam and Korean Wars, during which Thailand was used as a strategic base for operations during its Cold War fight against communism.
Once safely past the checkpoint, the convoy continued on to the Phuket Deep Sea Port at Ao Makham, where the aircraft will be cleaned, reassembled and otherwise prepared for their new role, which has been described as providing apartments for fish.
At a depth of about 15 to 20 meters, the aircraft will be arranged in a concentric pattern with two helicopters in the middle. These will be surrounded by an alternating circle of airplane and helicopter fuselages.
The wings of the aircraft were clipped at about mid-length and the rotors removed from the helicopters. All dangerous and/or toxic components of the mostly-aluminum remains were removed at the air base before being transported.
The entire arrangement, to cover about 2,500 square meters, will sit near an abandoned offshore tin-mining sledge.
The plan is to fix the aircraft to the seabed using huge concrete blocks. Upon completion, the entire site will be surrounded with a circular barrier of concrete blocks to prevent any migration of the structures across the sea floor, he said.

After a very well but almost done high season here in southern Thailand everyone is preparing for "Green Season". There's a lot of good deals available for PADI dive courses, packages including hotel accommodations, free extra dives and even mini safari's on live-a-boards from the island of Phuket. Of course this is also the BEST season to experience the jungle. Did you know that the jungle in Thailand (and Malaysia) are the oldest in the world, beating the Amazon's by a couple of million years or so? Southern Thailand is @ it's best during this season (May till September) for nature and tropical fruit lovers.
