The c/n doesn't come from Planebase nor from any other websites. The data with c/n 20 comes from the manufacturer's information.
So yes, the plate is most likely wrong.

Also from Steve Ozel's Thai Aviation page you can see the same note regarding this aircraft. CT/4A RR.020 / ‘20’ / ‘60442’ F.16-020/18 ZK-DTT (020) / 021* mfg 05Sep74 (also reported by NZAI as ff date); dd 02Nov74; transferred from FTS to 604 Sqdn early 2003 (f/n Mar03); code ‘60442’ (Dec08 thro’ Au...

Don't always believe everything you read on the internet. If you have the opportunity, check the c/n plates by yourself. F.16-020/18 clearly has the c/n 021 Actually I've got the cn from Planebase. There is actually a remark stating that the plate reads 021 which is incorrect, and that the correct ...

They close the museum for public and religious holidays. I actually planned on going there on May 1st but then found out it was Labor Day so I've waited one day to visit.

Hi, While in Bangkok, I had to revisit RTAF museum by Don Mueang airport. Last time I was there around 2015, and since then they've added 52 new airplanes. I've photographed almost everything (missed couple of helicopters and smaller trainers). My highlight and main motivation for the visit was rece...

Thanks for the description. Trying to pull the plug on Alaska. Either this September or Spring next year. However the long drive between Anchorage and Fairbanks makes me wanna take the flight

Indeed! Very nice!

Wow nice set. Fairbanks is on my bucket list. How are the spotting locations around the airport? Are they as relaxed with spotters as they are at ANC?

Thanks

My second and last afternoon at BKK started around 2pm. Sky was hazy comparing to the previous day but it got better with the day.

Thanks Guys. On the second day I took taxi from the hotel to the nearby aviation school. Since my last visit to BKK year earlier the school have either open or acquired the instructional airframes. Quick 15 minutes taxi ride and I was at the gate. There is a security guard, you have to tell him that...

Hi Before ending vacations in Thailand it's customary to spend at least day or two spotting at BKK airport :) My 'to go' hotel for spotting for the past few years is Miracle Suvarnabhumi Hotel. Decent hotel, about $50 a night and the most important thing is that it doesn't matter which runway they u...

Hi Went to the museum at DMK airport (photos will follow in the next couple of weeks), and after decided to check the observation area at Terminal 1 as I haven't been there in at least 4-5 years. When I got there I could see that just missed RTAF Sukhoi SJ landing on the 'civilian' runway. One day I...

Very nice photos!! I really appreciate that you always take the time to share your pictures. We could use more like you here! Thanks! There are photo reports from 2 more Thai airports and the museum coming up. Just short on time trying to edit 1000s of shots taken during this holiday :) And here ar...

Some nice catches!

Day 5 April 28th Last proper spotting outing at Phuket. The highlight was RTN Dornier 228.
