Hi Joris,

Thanks for your log.
Did you seen this from outside? And if yes, from what point?

Yes, all was seen and read from outside. Across the road is a small nature reserve-like city park with two red mountains and hiking trails. From the smaller hill (closest to the installation) you have a decent view of the ramp and the rocks serve as a great support for your binoculars...

Used to 'do' this small Airfield from the perimeter fence just off the main gate, which is on East McDowell Road.

Noted on 30th May 2015 were the following UH60s:

(82-23)676
(82)-23684
(83)-23908
(84)-23954
(85-24)421
(87-24)602
(89-26)123
plus ??-??595

The AH1 and A7 were still preserved at the gate. Note the (84)-23954 has previously been reported as being w/o in Korea in 2003 but we re-read and confirmed. All were read from outside the base near the traffic lights on the main road.
