The North American F-86F Sabre is a single seat jet fighter, and this one is mounted on a tall metal slanted post.
One of the signs has some history of the RTAF Aviation Park, which reads:
History
"The Royal Thai Air Force Aviation Park has been the brainchild of Air Chief Marshal Itthaporn Subhawong, ex-Commander-in-Chief, for the Centennial of the RTAF Founding Fathers' Aviation, and in recognition of all air force heroes in defence of their homeland.
"The RTAF Aviation Park exhibits main jet fighters of four generations of RTAF's glorious fleet, in a diamond-formation static display, and the development in air power respectively. The cockpit of the F-16A reaching up 100 feet from the base signifies the Centennial of the RTAF Founding Fathers' Aviation."
