https://www.flightglobal.com/news/articles/payload-tests-for-xq-58a-set-for-early-2020-460947/

 XQ-58A will load at least 

  2 Peregrine-sized air-to-air missiles (similar to CUDA for pyhsical size) or
  4 Small-Diameter-Bomb class weapon or

  probably one Mk.83 sized JDAM (GBU-32)

 UCAV could have relatively long range for its size (~4000km)

Osan Airshow 2019 Korea


During the Holidays, I could see Osan Airshow 2019 in Korea

It was a raining day, and I could see aircraft from USAF and ROKAF

Some 'Guest-aircraft' were coming from Kadena air-base. 


Because of the rain, it was interesting to watch some people hiding under the wing :)



1. Entrance



2. F-15C

It is interesting to see small attached fin near the rear-fuselage-pylon

And two-star means 'kill-mark' of two MiG-23 at Desert Storm operation in 1991






















3. KC-135

Our old tanker


















4. AH-64D

One friend was coming from US-Army






5. A-10C

Two A-10s are displayed while other two A-10s demonstrated 'Pilot-Rescue Performance'


















6. HH-60

US' HH-60 and ROK's HH-60 are mixed; other two HH-60s were used for demonstration








7. C-12 (King-Air)

Modified from Civil aircraft King-Air; some survival-equipment are attached





8. F-5F

One of the oldest in this show; high-drag profile panel war remarkable








9. F-4E 

ROKAF's F-4E is still in service while USAF's were coming from reserving hanger









10. F-15K

Except, F-35 and KC-330, it is the newest fighter-bomber in ROKAF inventory

Unlike ADEX, only light air-to-air configuration was displayed












11. KF-16C

Backbone of the ROKAF in number, more than 120 aircraft are in service










12. FA-50

Light-attacker version of T-50







13. U-2

One of symbol of the Cold-war; now it was unpopular than I expected






14. Black Eagles (T-50B Aerobatic Team of ROKAF)

Main highlight of the show


























14. ETC (missiles and guns)

Patriot and old-Vulcan were displayed while Korean's relatively new M-SAM was shown
