Thai B.Kh.20 (F/A-18C/D). Thailand ordered 8 airframes (4 C and 4 D models) in 1996, expecting another 18 to be ordered later. All airframes started construction and received their Thai serials, two of the twin seat models were nearly ready to be delivered.
However as the Asian Financial Crisis hit in 1997 and it was clear that fulfilling the remaining payments of ~$250M wouldn’t be viable, and the order was cancelled. Unable to find another export customer all 8 partially complete aircraft were finished as twin seat D models and used in USMC service. The initial payment of ~$75M was not refunded.
