FacilitiesThe airfield has a single grass runway 11/29 measuring 3020 x 141 feet (920 x 43 m).[1] However, other sources state the airfield is 3500 feet long. It is sited on Ch'o do island off the west coast of North Korea in the Korea Bay.{{cn|date=November 2015}} HistoryKorean WarDuring the Korean War, the USAF designated the airfield as K-54, but it was often listed as incomplete or not built.[2] An element of the USAF 3rd Air Rescue Squadron operating Sikorsky H-5s and later Sikorsky H-19s was based on the island from January 1952.[3] Cho-do was regarded as an ideal forward operating base particularly for the rescue of pilots of F-86s damaged over MiG Alley as the F-86 could usually glide to an ejection location near Chodo, often the rescue forces would have to wait for the damaged F-86 to arrive at the rescue location.[3]{{rp|18-19}} On 4 April 1953, an H-19 rescued Captain Joseph C. McConnell the future top-scoring US ace in Korea after he ejected from his F-86 just north of Chodo.[4] On 30 April 1953 an H-19 rescued future double-ace Captain Lonnie R. Moore after his F-86F crashed at sea north of Cho-do.[3]{{rp|16}} In mid-February 1952 the USAF installed early-warning radar on Cho-do which could detect aircraft taking off and landing at Chinese airfields along the Yalu River. In May a tactical control center was added and this was used vector F-86s against MiG-15s[4]{{rp|104}} The base was later used for communications interception duties[4]{{rp|106}} including providing advance warning of an air attack on Taehwa-do on 30 November leading to a USAF ambush that resulted in the destruction of 12 communist aircraft.[4]{{rp|108-9}} On 5 September 1952 communist artillery shelled the base, injuring 6 civilians. On 13 October the radar on Cho-do detected 6 aircraft heading towards the base, these aircraft, believed to be Po-2s dropped 14 bombs which killed 4 civilians. Similar attacks occurred on 26 November and 5 and 10 December causing minimal damage.[4]{{rp|110}} Another attack took place on 15 April 1953, killing two gunners and destroying one anti-aircraft gun.[4]{{rp|111}} UN forces withdrew from Cho-do under the terms of the Korean Armistice Agreement that ended the Korean War on 27 July 1953.{{cn|date=November 2015}} References1. ^Landings database page "Landings.Com", accessed 25 Aug 2010 {{Air Force}}{{Korea-War-stub}}2. ^GlobalSecurity.org "Air Bases - Ch'o-do", accessed 25 Aug 2010 3. ^1 2 {{cite book|last=Marion|first=Forrest|title=That others may live: USAF air rescue in Korea|publisher=Air Force History and Museums Program|year=2004|isbn=9780160876257|page=15}} 4. ^1 2 3 4 5 {{cite book|last=Werrell|first=Kenneth|title=Sabres over MiG Alley: the F-86 and the battle for air superiority in Korea|publisher=Naval Institute Press|year=2005|isbn=9781591149330|pages=115–6}} 4 : Airports in North Korea|South Pyongan|Nampo|Korean War air bases |
