Thai Air Force officials excavate the wreckage of a U.S. World War II combat aircraft, a P-51D Mustang, in Pathum Thani province on the outskirts of Bangkok, Thailand on June 9.
Reuters reports:
The plane was shot down during World War II as it was dropping bombs at a military camp in Don Muang in then Japanese-allied Thailand. The owner of the land recently discovered the wreckage and alerted officials who plan to display the remains in the Thai Air Force museum in Bangkok.
The plane, a P-51D Mustang, was uncovered on the outskirts of Bangkok. TODAY.com's Dara Brown reports.

What a unique treasure to find in one's backyard! What happened to the pilot though? If human remains are still with the aircraft, the US government may intervene.
What a plonker... WW2 Fighter Jet..... ha ha ha..... its a bloody P51 Mustang, with Rolls Royce Engine and a Propeller. The USA did no have a fighter jet in WW2. Why the hell these people who report news cant get their facts correct. its not Rocket or Jet Science.
