I received word that you were not admitted into Air Power Day. I understand
your frustration about the situation and am very sorry for the
inconvenience. The Netherlands was added to a list of countries prohibited
from entering the installation at the last minute. I cannot disclose
detailed information about what triggered the change; however, I can relay
that the change was made as a direct result of a series of inappropriate
actions taken by aviation enthusiast from the Netherlands. Such matters are
taken very seriously by Osan Air Base force protection personnel because
operational security and information protection is integral to the
protection and success of the U.S. military and its allies. Again we
understand your frustration and deeply apologize for the inconvenience.
This could well cause problems at Osan-and possibly other bases in the RoK in October.Jaap wrote:Two years ago a few things went wrong at Osan, with the quoted part as official comment,

Thanks, that is a very revelant thing to point out!Uni wrote:Hi, all
The Airshow will be only two days, on 26-27 Oct., at the Cheongju Int'l AP which is about 100kmSE from Seoul.
It is easy to go from Seoul city by express bus(less than 2 Hrs.).
The main exhibition will be hold at a large trade center in the Seoul city(there is no R/W).
And it will open to the public on 2-3 Nov..
