USAF Starts Building Second F-16 ‘Super Squadron’ in South Korea

A migration of fighter jets began across South Korea on July 28, as the first of 31 F-16s relocated from Kunsan Air Base to Osan Air Base, about 80 miles closer to the North Korean border. By October, all 31 aircraft and about 1,000 Airmen will be reassigned to Osan as part of the second phase of a “Super Squadron” experiment aimed at testing if the larger unit will be more efficient at launching and maintaining jets.
