[Yang Nak-gyu's Defence photo] US-ROK Fighter Jets Bearing Alliance Logos

To commemorate the 70th anniversary of the Korea-US alliance, the air forces of both countries have attached a commemorative logo to the vertical tail fins of their fighter jets. The logo, announced by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs last December as the official emblem for the 70th anniversary of the Korea-US alliance, was enhanced with a wing-shaped image to emphasize the dynamism of both air forces. The fighter jets bearing the commemorative logo include four KF-16s from the Republic of Korea Air Force and three F-16s from the US Air Force. Starting in June, the Republic of Korea Air Force's special flight team, the Black Eagles, will also display the 70th anniversary logo and conduct celebratory flights across the country. The Korea-US fighter jets will begin memorial flights at the 8th anniversary memorial ceremony for the late Colonel Dean Hess of the US Air Force, held on the 11th at the Jeju Aerospace Museum, and will participate in friendship flights at major events related to the Korea-US alliance. Colonel Dean Hess was the head of the 6146th Military Advisory Group, established to support the reconstruction of the Republic of Korea Air Force during the Korean War, and personally flew over 250 combat sorties.
