First E-737 takes flight in South Korea sky

[driedapples]

The E-737 airborne early warning and control aircraft “Peace-Eye,” introduced by South Korean Air Force for the first time, flies during its test flight and final review in South Korean skies.

The Air Force held a hand-over ceremony of the aircraft on Wednesday at the Gimhae airbase where more than 300 people, including top military officials, politicians and other guests attended.

It is one of the four “Peace Eyes” purchased from Boeing. The remaining three aircrafts are in the middle of being manufactured and will be handed over in phases through the end of 2012. An Air Force commander said the “Peace Eye” has an upgraded capability of independent intelligence gathering, reconnaissance, and aerial surveillance with electronic radar system and will enable South Korea to rely less heavily on U.S. reconnaissance aircraft.
