Antoine Posted December 26, 2015 Share Posted December 26, 2015 After seeing Vincent's thread about his spotting tour of Taiwan air bases, my failing memory told me that I did have a few pictures on the subject, taken not so long ago around the Island State, on different occasions. Quite a few pictures in fact, and fewer worth to be exposed here when you think of my ability at using a camera... But you never know, so here we go. Gangshan An air base on the southwest of the island, between Tainan in the north, and the harbour-city of Kaoshiung. It's the home of the air force academy, T-34 and AT-3 are flying all day long. There's also the air force museum, but all the aircraft are parked outside, and are suffering badly from the elements (typhoons and earthquake are very common in Taiwan). L-19? T-33 F-84G And last, an interesting one, a MiG-19R Farmer C, flown by a defector from the continent in 1983 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Antoine Posted December 26, 2015 Author Share Posted December 26, 2015 Well, not much pictures worth to show about visit to Hsinchu and Taoyuan airport museum, so off to the main airshow that I've attended: Taitung This base is the southernmost one of Taiwan, facing the Pacific with its back against the mountains, and home of the ROCAF's agressors. To avoid controls at the base entrance, the best way is to come by air. Hercules 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tiger331 Posted December 28, 2015 Share Posted December 28, 2015 Interesting markings on that F-84G Thunderjet….Since it has what appears to be a Norwegian flag on the tail and the red 'lightning' flashes associated with RNoAF in the 1950s, I wonder if these Taiwanese aircraft were obtained from the RNoAF. Methinks I will have to do some more research. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Methinks I will have to do some more research. I've asked myself the same question at the time, but I forgot about the answer I was given. I'll come back.
