International Air Cadets tour the 11th Fighter Wing

 

 

 

As part of International Air Cadet Exchange, the 11th Fighter Wing provided a tour for 13 international air cadets from the U.S., Canada, Holland, France, the UK and Australia on July 27. This program was organized by the Korean Air Force and Young Falcons of Korea, President Ha Sung-yong.

 

The international air cadets have visited the 11th Fighter Wing, which operates the F-15K, the strongest fighter in Northeast Asia, since the exchange started in 2009. They toured the 102nd Fighter Squadron, waiting room for pilots, hangar and other places where pilots live, conduct operational missions and maintain the F-15K, including the Fighter Wing History Hall.

 

Mark Krejnovich, 17, a participant from the U.S., said, “This visit allow me to learn more about the Korean Air Force, and at some future day, I’d like to be a pilot and in an exchange with them.”
