Korea - June 18, 1953

The original Air Force film was shot on June 18, 1953, at Suwon Air Base (K-13), South Korea. There is no audio, but it shows the turn-around times of various ground personnel as they fuel and load bombs onto F-86 Sabres from the 8th FBG. If you look closely, you'll see FU-367, "The Georgia Peach," being fueled, loaded with bombs and checked for ammunition. It belonged to the 36th Fighter-Bomber Squadron. My uncle flew this aircraft on an armed reconnaissance mission the next morning (June 19, 1953), but never returned.
