F-4D, ROKAF 1969

---

MDD F-4D Phantom II, 110th TFS, 11th TFW, Republic of Korea Air Force, Taegu, from beginning 1969

 

After some hard negotiating during 1968, ROKAF was given 18 F-4D aircraft in return for agreeing to transfer 36 on-loan F-5A/B aircraft (which ROKAF did not greatly appreciate in any case) to RVNAF. These aircraft were used by 110 Tactical Fighter Squadron, and supplemented by further deliveries over the years, remained in service with 110 and 151 TFS, 11th TFW until 2010. They retained their SEA camouflage at least into the 1980s.

 

Serial numbers were simply based on the USAF serials, with the initial '6' removed - so the first aircraft delivered, USAF 64-0931, became ROKAF 40-931 and so forth.

 

To the best of my knowledge, they did not participate in the Vietnam War, although given the Republic of Korea's considerable contribution to supporting South Vietnam, it is a reasonable what-if...

ROKAF certainly participated Vietnam war. Only with C54 though...

 

Here's their usual route.

Thanks for nice skin. Mind if you can develop this nose art in next release? It's one of most symbolic and illustrious nose are in South Korean flight simulation community.

I DID look at that, and didn't have the courage... It is outside the time frame specified, as it's in fact during the very early 1980s, I think, isn't it? If you can supply the marking in white on black, for example, I can make the decal easily. But if I had to draw each letter by hand, it would take days.......

IIRC that marking is already on a skin I released a while back....somewhere.
