Couple of Mig 29s on the pan, plus what look like Mig 21s and old Sukhoi SU7s(???)
This is the MAF training base for FJs @ Meikthila. Interestingly, most of the country is badly served by Google E, but the 2 sites here are very clear to see...


I think the MiG-21s are Chengdu F-7s, and the SU7s are Nanchang A-5 'Fantans'.

RGN Airport:

16 54 23.67 N
96 08 10.92 E

3x Mig29s and something unidentified just to the right of them, plus the usual commercial stuff inc. an ATR and old F27. The 29s are regularly in the air here.

Of more interest on the same airfield is:

16 54 27.89 N
96 08 32.26 E

Looks like an AN12, a couple more F27s(ex MAF), a DC3 and 2 camouflaged Sukhois SU7s(??)


The something unidentified may be a Super Galeb and the SU7s are again Nanchang A-5s. (Chinese-built FGA based on MiG-19 with solid pointy nose).
