ErnstBlofeld Posted September 9, 2010 Share Posted September 9, 2010 (edited) Korean Hearld: The Air Force received its first batch of three F-15K fighter jets from the U.S. aircraft giant Boeing on Wednesday under the second-phase F-X fighter acquisition program, officials said. The high-end multi-role aircraft arrived at the 11th Fighter Wing based in Daegu in the morning. They departed from Saint Louis on Aug. 31 and received aerial refueling support from a KC-10 tanker of the U.S. Air Force while flying over the Pacific, officials said. With the latest addition, the Air Force has a total of 42 F-15Ks. Under the first-phase program from 2002-2008, 40 F-15Ks were delivered, but one crashed in the waters off Pohang during a nighttime mission in June 2006.
