Air Power Day

A few weeks ago, Osan Air Base celebrated Air Power Day 2011.  This is an annual two-day air show featuring American and Korean aerial performances, military demonstrations, and aircraft and equipment displays.  The base is open to the public, giving the locals a chance to come onto base and enjoy the festivities and food.  There were over 50,000 visitors at the show this year.
