Development
The RTAF-2 was developed from the Fuji LM-1 Nikko, itself a derivative of the Beechcraft Bonanza. One prototype was built in 1957 and tested in 1957–58, although no further production followed.[1][3][4]
By 1984 the sole example had been turned over to the Royal Thai Air Force Museum, Don Mueang District, Bangkok.[5]
