 |
|
Hi all,
I went to the Seoul air show three weekends ago, and managed to get around to posting some pics online...
Here's a sneak preview:
The show was held at Seongnam air base in South-east Seoul, home of No.15 Tactical Air Transport Wing, No. 39 Tactical Reconnaissance Group and No. 35 Combined Group (VIP transport).
The show saw the debut of Korea's new F-15Ks, and it's new T-50 supersonic trainer.
The "air" part of the air show was a bit sparse; most of the types that Korea operates were only on static display, and the much touted Su-31 never showed up. However, there's no such thing as a bad air show for a dyed-in-the-wool airplane geek like myself.
Check out the rest of the photos here:

Sorry about the lack of zoom on my little camera.
Bear in mind the commentary is aimed at my students whose English is pretty basic, so it's a bit "D!ck and Jane-ish".
For those of you interested in WW2 aircraft, I visited the Wanaka Warbirds Museum when I vacationed in New Zealand in August. You can see airworthy examples of some rare aircraft on the 2nd and 4th pages of my vacation album here:

Anyway, I hope you enjoy them. Cheers.
By the way, why can't you say "D!ck" on this board? What if my name was D!ck? Political Correctness: Just Say No! |

Wow, 93 views and no replies? Is that some kind of record?
If I wasn't so self-actualised I could feel quite hurt. Maybe I should have entitled it something more controversial like:
"CANADIANS SUCK! (and some pictures from the Seoul Air Show)"
(Actually I love Canadians. In a brotherly way. Not in a gay way.) |

| I don't know anything about the air show mate, but I gotta ask you what is up with that awesome avatar you have. |

Love the photos, would have loved to see the Su-31 though. I hear they're amazing birds.
Nice work.. :)

It's just so bizzare on so many levels isn't it? It's a postcard that must date from the late 60s or early 70s. These fellas have been working on that "Dynamic Korea" thing for a long time. I guess this was an early prototype  |

Because of the noise? Personally I'd prefer it over the yapping mutts and propaganda trucks that I get now. But then I like aeroplanes.  |
