Under a secret effort designated Operation Black Magic, the US Navy had provided the ROC with the AIM-9 Sidewinder, its first infrared-homing air-to-air missile, which was just entering service with the United States.

This F-86F also joined the Combat that was first combat use of the Sidewinder was on September 24, 1958 with the ROCAF (Taiwan Air Force).

The combat introduction of the Sidewinder took place in a battle on 24 September 1958 when ROC Sabres succeeded in destroying 10 MiGs and scoring two probables without loss to themselves. That was the first .In one month of air battles over Quemoy and Matsu, Nationalist pilots tallied a score of no less than 31 MiGs destroyed and eight probables, against a loss of two F-84Gs and no Sabres.

I think it was in Hualien, we've been to a supermarket. Between two floors, you can see the AF base through a window, but you cannot stop in front of the window, it is inbetween the two floors and the elevator is automatic.
I went up and down several time to check wether the planes were IDF or F-16. It was quite far
That trip along the eastern seashore was totally amazing.
I hope I can find a way to work in Taiwan again.

I often go up to 4th floor,roof parking lot to see airfighters.
Sometimes I see E-2T,Mirage 2000,S-2T,most often I see F-16s and F-5s including F-5E/F-5F/RF-5E.

I also join a local modeling club in Hualien,meetings are held each month.
