18-25 October 2015
| This year, ADEX was back at its original location, the east side of Seongnam airbase, southeast of Seoul. The report below |
| contains the sightings from five groups and individuals from Sunday 18 October, two days before the opening until the last |
| public day on Sunday 25 October. Actually, only new stuff was recorded on 25 October. Your South Korea author visited the |
| show on Tuesday and Wednesday. |

| In general we can say that the show produced a very nice list over the week. Unfortunately the weather was very hazy on |
| at least Tuesday (opening day) and Wednesday. Sand from China blowing inland your editor was told. That ruined the |
| opening flypast on Tuesday, with the planned flight of F-4Es not showing up. Combining the haze with coloured smoke |
| from smoke-pods is sure to create an awful sky…so forget about the pictures on Tuesday. The C-17 attempted its demo, |
| but returned after a short taxi trip. Even the F-22’s distinctive howl could not rescue its unimpressive demo. |
| Well then, how about Wednesday. Again a hazy sky (but not too bad I think), again cancellations, again a failed attempt |
| by the C-17. For some reason the products from KAI were a no-show; no TA-50/FA-50/T-50 flying, no KT-1/KA-1 flying. |
| Actually, nothing planned for the show took off. Even the Black Eagles arrived late, and did not perform that day. On |
| top of this, not even a single KAI KUH-1 Surion was present. An upgraded AH-1 was also promised, but never showed. For |
| some reason the ROK Army was totally absent. On the positive side; the locals were very active during the morning, and |
| easy to photograph from the show grounds. |
