Returning from a possible QRA mission, this KF-16D (FMS serial 92-4040) is equipped with live AIM-9 Sidewinders and AIM-120 AMRAAMs. The F-16 is heading for runway 36R at homebase Chungju. The dual seat Falcon was manufactured under the Piece Bridge II program and by Samsung Aerospace. It was delivered to the RoKAF on 7 March 1996. In 2024 it was probably assigned to the 19 FW which is commanding one KF-16C squadron (155 FS) and two F-16C/D squadrons (161 and 162 FS).

Returning from a possible QRA mission, this KF-16C (FMS serial 93-4059) is equipped with live AIM-9 Sidewinders and AIM-120 AMRAAMs. The F-16 is heading for runway 36 at homebase Chungju. It is most probably assigned to the 19 FW / 39 RW, 159 TRS. The 19 FW is commanding one KF-16C squadron (155 FS) and two F-16C/D squadrons (161 and 162 FS), while 39 RW has one KF-16 squadron. It was manufactured under the Piece Bridge II program and was possibly assembled by Samsung Aerospace. It is also reported that this F-16 is one of 18 modified to RF-16C. Thes are capable to carry a reconnaissance pod.

This KF-16C is assigned to the 159 Tactical Reconnaissance Squadron and carrying an Elbit Systems Condor 2 reconnaissance pod as well as live AIM-9 Sidewinders under the wings, and AIM-120 AMRAAMS at the wingtips. Since 2016, eighteen RoKAF KF-16Cs were modified to carry this huge pod. Semi-official they are designated RF-16C. The 159 FS was renamed 159 TRS after the retirement of the RF-4C. The 159 TRS belonged to both 19 Fighter Wing and the 39 Tactical Reconnaissance Group, and fully subordinate to the 39 Reconnaissance Wing since Nov'20.

This Lockheed Martin built C-130J-30 was delivered to the RoKAF on 2 June 2014 and assigned to the 5 Tactical Air Transport Wing, 251 Tactical Air Support Squadron at Gimhae air base.

This unmarked F-16C is operated by 19 FW and is seen here approaching its home base in rather poor weather. For the number geeks: the serial of this aircraft gives a nice row of descending digits! ;-)

A rather poor picture owing to the bad weather during our visit to Jungwon airbase where 19 FW operates a large number of (K)F-16s. Seen here is former USAF F-16D 84-1373.

Unmarked F-16C operated by 19 FW (either 161 or 162 FS), approaching its home base in rather poor weather.

This Korean F-16D was formerly operated by the USAF as 85-1584. It now flies with either 161 or 162 FS of 19 FW at Jungwon airbase in Chungju, which hosts no less than four (K)F-16 units. We saw it here on a very cloudy day.

Former USAF F-16C 85-1583 is seen here while operated by 19 FW of the RoKAF, either by 161 FS or 162 FS.
