Airplanes.

This was part of yesterday's adventure.Bumper blog today,people.I love airplanes and love to fly.I found these three airplanes that were probably used during the Korean War.They are on display in a park across from Shark Zone.It was another rainy day, so the pics look darker.While you cannot get your frequent flyer miles with these ones,they are part of aviation history.

O-1 G Cessna.


It's main role was for observation. Nicknamed "Bird Dog".Does is look like a bird or a dog? Posted by Hello

The cockpit..a bit grimy. Posted by Hello

The ROKAF stands for Republic of Korea Air Force...in case you didn't know. Posted by Hello


The Korean says:"Dae Han Min Gook Gom Goon"..Not sure what it means, but it could have something to do with "Fighting spirit"..Korean soccer fans sang "Dae Han Min Gook" constantly at the World Cup Soccer games in 2002. Posted by Hello
