    So there is 2 Thai A300's and 2 Tri Stars(one belonging to las vegas sands) stuck under 1 meter of water in bankok that i know of.

    Will these ever see the air again considering they are both both old and rare type's of passenger aircraft. the Thai A300 looks a bit worse for wear!

    The Thai Sky L1011 will be lucky to go anywhere with no engines.

    The L1011 is history apart from the diehards.

    The A300 will survive as long as the water stays outside, legs are sacrificial, it has a viable future in obscure cargo routes.

    Funny thing is, this flooding was predicted and all but confirmed weeks ago... so who let said aircraft sit there?

    I would assume that the aircraft were already unflyable. Perhaps they needed a big overhaul that they did not have time to complete?
    The airlines managed to get the rest of their fleet out of the way in time.

    The water only seems to cover the landing gear so no big problem getting them airworthy.
