South Korea Aircrew Completes F-15K Training
ST. LOUIS: After 15 months of training, eight Republic of Korea Air Force (ROKAF) aircrew members are now ready to fly the Boeing [NYSE: BA] F-15K Strike Fighter.
The four pilots and four weapons systems officers graduated September 9 from training in St. Louis, where they learned the differences between the F-15E Strike Eagle and the F-15K.
“The ROKAF aircrews have done very well,” said Steve Winkler, Boeing F-15K program manager. “The training is very demanding, whether it’s in the classroom, a simulator or an actual aircraft, these pilots and weapons systems officers have done it all and the ROKAF should be very proud.”
