Monday 16th started off with the rehearsal for the show opening on Tue 17th.
The Koreans certainly love their 'smoke', since many jets get to bolt on smoke generators, which does not help identifying the birds.
Having gone through my shots of 16th October I will try and do an opening bid:
Para drop w/smoke and flags - 95-181 C-130H brought them up
Indigenous UH helicopter designed from the Cougar aka Surion (2x5 - numbers complete)

MUH-1 20011 21015 21016 21017 18003
Black Eagles with their T-50s (1-8 which does not help); they have "Alliance for the Future - 70 years" markings on their tails, celebrating 70 years of US-S-Korean ties
