This former USMC Corsair first went to the US civil registry as N5219V in 1959. It was intended for the Honduras AF but was never delivered. After a period of storage in Blythe, CA, the aircraft was transferred to Tucson, AZ, where it was dismantled in 1973 and prepared for shipment to the Korean Aviation/War Museum in Seoul in 1974. Later, it was moved to its current location at Sacheon.

Former US Army helicopter that had been transferred to South Korea by 1977 as there is a fantastic picture of this helicopter from that year on Air History. At least since 2002 it has been preserved at the KAI museum, in exact the same colours it had in 1977.

This aircraft was developed in 1953, right after the Korean war by the RoKAF Technical School and is generally seen as the start of South Korea's domestic aerospace industry. In 1960, it was transferred to a civil flight school in Daegu. In 2004, the fuselage of the aircraft was salvaged from the Kyeongsang Technical High School in Daegu and a restoration project started. Two new aircraft were built in 2011, both of which are now preserved as well. It is thought that this aircraft at the KAI museum is the restored aircraft with the original fuselage.

Built as a Douglas A-26B (s/n 44-34119), this aircraft was rebuilt in 1964 as an On Mark B-26K Counter Invader with a new s/n 64-17651. It flew with 609 SOS/56 SOW from Nakhon Phanom in Thailand until the 609th was disbanded in November 1969. The aircraft was sent to MASDC where it remained until it was donated to South Korea as an exhibit in 1973.

This aircraft was originally built as a F9F-8 Cougar. The link between this type and South Korea is that early in the Korean war (on 3 July 1950), a USN F9F-3 from VF-51, operating from USS Valley Forge, downed a North Korean Yak-9P. I assume that is why this aircraft sits in a South Korean aviation museum.

It is always impressive to see a B-29! This aircraft was modified to carry nuclear weapons and served with the USAF until 1954. In 1972 it was shipped to South Korea for display, first in the Seoul War Memorial Museum, later in the KAI Aerospace museum.
