K-6 airbase, Pyeongtaek, South Korea 1952-53

These photos are courtesy of J.R. Boyer, a Marine who served at K-6 during the war. They give an insight in life at K-6 and in the surrounding community during that era.

Nice color shots of the HRS..

Also, interesting to see the new M38A1 Jeeo. First produced in 1952, I don't know how many made it to Korea.

These pictures are great...but I think I saw a bit of gold in two of them.

The Corsair junkyard appears to have Guy Boredelon's F4u, the only Corsair ace of the Korean conflict. His aircraft w the 5 red victory stars was wrecked when another aircraft ran into it....
