12 Wisconsin-based fighter jets, 200 airmen heading to South Korea


By SETH ROBSON AND YOO KYONG CHANG | STARS AND STRIPES Published: August 2, 2017

A dozen F-16 Fighting Falcons and 200 Wisconsin Air National Guardsmen will arrive in South Korea this month as tensions continue to rise over the North’s nuclear and missile programs.

The jets from the 176th Fighter Squadron will fly out of Kunsan Air Base during a four-month rotation, a Pacific Air Forces statement said. They will train under the direction of the 8th Fighter Wing.
