Released by 51st Fighter Wing Public Affairs

Note: Nice HAS (Hardened Aircraft Shelter) shot. But no chance to identify this "Hog" because lack of bow number (like in the next shot). Any "Hog" professional from Osan who can/will clear up that?

  1. The top one is 283, and the bottom one is also obviously 283. I'm gonna go ahead and say these three pictures were all taken at the same time from the same launch.

  2. The top one is 283 just like in the bottom shot. I would assume all three shots are of 283.
