00:04.140 --> 00:09.990
Hello

00:09.990 --> 00:12.101
and welcome to around the Air Force .

00:12.101 --> 00:14.268
You must stay ahead of your enemies in

00:14.268 --> 00:16.212
battle . That's why the korean Air

00:16.212 --> 00:18.101
forces adopting new fighters with

00:18.101 --> 00:18.070
health in the United States Air Force

00:18.540 --> 00:20.651
Army Sergeant Joshua Johnson takes us

00:20.651 --> 00:22.873
to K two Air Base for a look at Korea's

00:22.873 --> 00:25.590
newest fighters . Yes , this team has

00:25.600 --> 00:27.656
dominated the skies for more than 20

00:27.656 --> 00:29.711
years now in success has reached the

00:29.711 --> 00:31.933
korean peninsula as the Rock Air Forces

00:31.933 --> 00:33.767
trained their next generation of

00:33.767 --> 00:35.489
fighter pilots and their newly

00:35.489 --> 00:37.711
purchased at 15 K Slam Eagles . U . S .

00:37.711 --> 00:39.933
Air Force Captain robert french is here

00:39.933 --> 00:42.156
at K two Air Base training the Rock Air

00:42.156 --> 00:44.322
Force pilots on how to fly their newly

00:44.322 --> 00:46.489
acquired fighter debts . I am here for

00:46.489 --> 00:48.711
a year as essentially the sole american

00:48.711 --> 00:50.940
in the squadron to provide my

00:50.940 --> 00:53.010
experience . 1000 hours of F 15 E

00:53.010 --> 00:56.150
experience to the korean Air Force as

00:56.160 --> 00:59.730
they are beginning to fly this aircraft ,

00:59.740 --> 01:01.796
these are fifteens are replacing the

01:01.796 --> 01:03.851
outdated Vietnam era at four fighter

01:03.851 --> 01:05.851
jets currently used by the Rock Air

01:05.851 --> 01:07.573
Force with the latest military

01:07.573 --> 01:09.518
technologies accompanied by a high

01:09.518 --> 01:11.573
compliment of offensive measures and

01:11.573 --> 01:13.629
greater maneuverability . These jets

01:13.629 --> 01:15.573
are sure to provide the korean Air

01:15.573 --> 01:17.407
Force and edge in today's modern

01:17.407 --> 01:19.462
warfare . However , adjusting to new

01:19.462 --> 01:21.480
weapons systems is never easy . 16

01:21.480 --> 01:24.180
imposed a similar system as the F 15 so

01:24.180 --> 01:26.520
F 16 pilots don't have much trouble

01:26.520 --> 01:29.390
adjusting to the F 15 . F four pilots

01:29.390 --> 01:31.501
may encounter difficulties and flying

01:31.501 --> 01:33.390
the F 15 K . However , most

01:33.400 --> 01:35.580
difficulties arise not from technical

01:35.580 --> 01:38.060
problems from the strategic use of the

01:38.060 --> 01:40.171
aircraft . Since all squadron members

01:40.171 --> 01:41.800
are experienced pilots , the

01:41.800 --> 01:43.800
relationship between the US and the

01:43.800 --> 01:45.856
Rock Air Force is a highlight of our

01:45.856 --> 01:47.856
Combined Forces cooperation and not

01:47.856 --> 01:50.022
only signifies the immigration between

01:50.022 --> 01:52.189
the two allied nations , but shows the

01:52.189 --> 01:53.856
Rock Air Forces readiness and

01:53.856 --> 01:56.022
capability of defending their nation .

01:56.022 --> 01:58.189
I'm Army Sergeant Roscoe Johnson K two

01:58.189 --> 02:00.640
