Kunsan Airbase Shuts Down as Runaway Repairs Begin for the Summer

It looks like there is not going to be much activity going on this summer at Kunsan AB as its runway goes through a complete overhaul:

The last U.S. Air Force fighter jets from Kunsan Air Base moved this week to Osan Air Base, about 75 miles north, ahead of a scheduled runway overhaul expected to last through the summer.

Around 30 F-16 Fighting Falcons of the 8^th Fighter Wing will continue flight operations over South Korea from Osan while their 9,000-foot-long home runway receives a makeover, wing spokeswoman Capt. Kaylin P. Hankerson told Stars and Stripes by email Thursday.

Kunsan is on the country’s west coast about 115 miles south of Seoul and is home to around 4,200 U.S. troops.
