We will start with two days at Seongnam for ADEX. On the opening day the Republic of Korea Air Force always shows a large number of aircraft in a fly-past. During these days the based aircraft are normally active as well and a lot of VIP-flights can be seen. After this we will fly to Japan on Thursday. We then have 3.5 days in the Tokyo area. We start at Hyakuri on Friday (where all JASDF Phantoms are these days). It could just happen that the (rehearsal of) the Military Review at Hyakuri is during that weekend. If so we can witness this!
On Monday and Tuesday we then have time for very cool air bases in Japan; Komatsu, Gifu and Hamamatsu. We will fly back to South Korea on Wednesday.
We are talking to the USAF at Kunsan Air Base for a base visit (both with the USAF and ROKAF F-16s). Should this not materialise we will change our schedule for South Korea. On Friday we will go to Sacheon for the air show that is scheduled there (https://festival.aerospace.go.kr/main/main.php). This is an event that always produces a fair number of Korean military aircraft types.
