Roads/Runways…same thing 😀 😀

I never knew the RoKAF used old jets for D.A.C. training, nice idea to see an F-15K getting it’s rear end handed to it by an F-86 though :p

What the blazes are these??? Picked them up at Osan in R.o.KOREA, the have swept wings like MiG-15/17 or Sabres…are the being preserved or are they decoys? What’s the story?
By the way, if you go to Osan and look in the upper left hand corner you will see an OA-10 sitting in the open…no Q.R.A. aircraft though, isn’t that kinda odd??? :confused:

A couple more:

Where did he find the North Korean BK117??? A little movie called “Stealth”…real downer seeing that thing in there, one of the US fighters goes down over North Korea and a load of North Korean Spec’ Op’s come pouring out of two BK117’s in pursuit of the pilot.

I agree, there should have been more reports on the PLAAF by magazines. They seem to foucus largely on US or European air forces and rarely go through the trouble of travelling to exotic lands to bring such profiles to us.
There have been a few though, Air Power Review Issue 1 provided a good insight into the PLAAF (granted this is now a couple of years old) and I know Aircraft International produced such a report a couple of years back too.

I know I saw the profile you’re talking about in Combat Aircraft, but I didn’t buy it…chose AFM instead…think I can spare the cash this week and might go hunt for it.
