The Republic of Korean Air Force has officially retired its T-103 training aircraft for cadets, the Ministry of National Defence announced on 2 May.

T-103, a Russian fixed wing training aircraft, has been used to train beginner-level air force cadets for 13 years. The aircraft has been replaced by the KAI KT-100 four-seat, low-wing, single-engine light aircraft for the introductory flight course for beginner-level cadets.

Shim, Dae-seop, commander of the 55 Training Group of Air Force Academy, said: ‘I am so pleased that the T-103 is retired successfully from its service. The T-103 was a must-undergo aircraft to become an air force pilot.

‘We will do everything possible to foster elite pilots through management based on regulations and procedures so that the KT-100, which will replace T-103 in service, can show its ability.’
