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 photo is copyright © Stephan de Bruijn, and may not be used or published in any way without permission.
