Eagles for Korea: US Air Force airmen are helping in the delivery of two new F-15K Eagles to Seoul, South Korea. Theses are the first two of 40 K model F-15s South Korea purchased from Boeing for $4.2 billion. Boeing and South Korea Air Force pilots are flying the fighters to Seoul, aided by aerial refuelings from the Hawaii Air National Guard KC-135s. The fighters will stop at Andersen AFB, Guam, before flying on to Seoul.
An important U.S. Air Force E-3 Sentry AWACS command and control plane was among the aircraft damaged in a March 27 Iranian missile and drone attack on Prince Sultan Air Base, Saudi Arabia, people familiar with the matter told Air & Space Forces Magazine.
