About Kunsan Air Base
Kunsan Air Base has a rich history dating back to 1938 when it was built as a Japanese naval air station. After the Korean War broke out, the U.S. Air Force took over the facility as K-8 airfield, using it as a major staging base for bombers and fighters. Today it is home to the 8th Fighter Wing, known as the 'Wolf Pack'—a nickname inherited from its World War II combat legacy in Europe. Equipped with F-16 fighters, it plays a crucial role in defending the west coast of the Korean Peninsula.
