OSAN AIR BASE, Republic of Korea -- Osan Air Base opened its gates to more than 65,000 visitors during Air Power Day Oct. 20 and 21.

More than 22 aircraft from around Pacific Air Forces were on display while the ROK's premiere demonstration team, the Black Eagles, took to the skies to exercise their combat flying capabilities in eight T-50 training aircraft.

"This is a great opportunity for us to share what we do with our community, neighbors and friends," said Col. Patrick McKenzie, 51st Fighter Wing commander, during opening ceremonies. "We have an incredible line-up. The Black Eagles are a fantastic demonstration team."

The show featured aerial demonstrations from A-10 Thunderbolt IIs, F-16 Fighting Falcons, a C-17 Globemaster, a ROKAF F-15K Eagle, a T-50 Golden Eagle, a U2 Dradonlady, and a KC-135 Stratotanker. Visitors were also shown a military working dog demonstration, dancing and music from the Korean-American Partnership Association, and a Combat Search and Rescue team mission later in the day.

On the ground, spectators could see an up-close view of a first-time visitor, the F-22 Raptor, and other aircraft like the MV-Osprey and the CH-47 Chinook.
