R2B: Return to Base (Korean: 알투비: 리턴투베이스; RR: Altubi: Riteontu Be-iseu) is a 2012 South Korean aviation action drama film loosely based on the 1986 film Top Gun. The film stars Rain, Shin Se-kyung and Yoo Jun-sang in lead roles. It was directed by Kim Dong-won and is a remake of Shin Sang-ok's 1964 film Red Scarf.[1][2] It is about a talented, yet troublemaking, elite air force pilot who is demoted to a combat flying unit.[3][4][5] It was released on 15 August 2012. The Republic of Korea Air Force was heavily involved in the film's production.[citation needed]
Captain Jung Tae-yoon (Rain), a Republic of Korea Air Force pilot in the Black Eagles aerobatic team, performs a cocky and dangerous maneuver during an air show and is promptly transferred to the 21st Fighter Wing, a combat unit flying the F-15K strike fighter, led by Brigadier General Choi Byeong-gil (Jo Sung-ha) and Major Park Dae-suh (Kim Sung-soo). There he meets Cheol-hee (Yoo Jun-sang), the unit's own elite pilot. The two quickly come into friction, as Tae-yoon is free-spirited while Cheol-hee is by-the-book.
When a Korean People's Air Force MiG-29 crosses the Korean Demilitarized Zone in an attempt to defect, the 21st sorties to escort it. Suddenly, a second KPAF MiG-29 intercepts the escort, shoots the defector down, and flies toward Seoul. The 21st attempts to engage, but is told that the rules of engagement prohibit engagements over populated areas and is forced to allow it to attack Seoul, causing catastrophic destruction and numerous casualties. Tae-yoon and Dae-suh pursue the MiG as it returns to North Korean airspace, but it attacks and cripples Dae-suh's plane. Noticing civilians below, Dae-suh ejects Ji Seok-hyun, his weapon systems officer, to safety and maneuvers his plane out of the civilians' way, but his ejection seat fails and he crashes into a mountain, killing him. Still unable to engage the MiG, Tae-yoon is forced to turn back, allowing it to escape.
Back at the airbase, the 21st is informed that a North Korean battalion led by General Kang Sang Yeol has gone rogue, seizing a nuclear silo with the intent of firing a ballistic missile at the United States. An American officer with United States Forces Korea informs the ROKAF that they have prepared a B-2 Spirit for a preemptive strike, which would reignite the Korean conflict. Because the U.S. refuses to rescue Seok-hyun, the ROKAF and the Ministry of National Defense secretly launch their own rescue mission, assigning only a T-50 and an F-15K to avoid attention. When the U.S learned of the Operations, they orderded the ROKAF and the Ministry of National Defense to ask their troops to stand down but they rejected.
The mission is launched, and Seok-hyun is rescued by South Korean pararescue troops. After destroying the rogue battalion's base, the 21st is confronted by the MiG-29 from earlier, and they battle. During the dogfight, the MiG-29 stalls, allowing Tae-yoon to shoot it down. The T-50 is lost while trying to evade a SAM, but the pilot survives. The mission is a success, and the B-2 strike is called off. At the end, Tae-yoon gives his respects to his fallen comrade.[7]
Before the film's release it was reported to have sold to 30 countries including Thailand, Taiwan, India, Indonesia, Malaysia, and other parts of Asia as well as the United Kingdom, France, Germany and Italy.[8] It also screened in 13 cities across North America premiering in Los Angeles on 24 August and continuing in San Diego, Seattle, Dallas, Atlanta, Washington D.C., Philadelphia, New Jersey, New York, Honolulu, Toronto and Vancouver in Canada; closing in Chicago on 31 August.[9]

Despite being displaced from home base since April when construction began, the 8th FW, also known as the Wolf Pack, was able to conduct operations and project airpower from various locations on the Korean peninsula.
The US military in South Korea fully returned its former base, Camp Market, to the Asian country Wednesday, the defense ministry said, as part of a broad relocation scheme to consolidate its bases across South Korea.
The US Forces Korea handed over about 257,000 square meters of land in Camp Market near Seoul to South Korea, four years after returning some 216,000 square meters of land in the base in the first phase.
"As the rest of the site of Camp Market, which was used for a bread factory and warehouse, has been returned, the return process of a total of 473,000 square meters of land has been completed," the defense ministry said in a joint statement with the ministries of foreign affairs, environment and land.
The former site of Camp Market in Bupyeong, about 25 kilometers west of Seoul, was previously used as a weapons factory for the Japanese military during Japan's colonial rule of the Korean Peninsula before being taken over by the US military in 1945.
South Korea opened part of the returned site of Camp Market to the public in October 2020 for the first time in 81 years. Decontamination work is currently underway in other parts of the former military base.
The return is part of a broad relocation scheme to consolidate US bases across South Korea into two garrisons in Pyeongtaek, 60 km south of Seoul, and Daegu, 237 km southeast of the capital, with the aim of enhancing defense readiness and operational efficiencies in the face of North Korean military threats.
"The government will continue consultation with the United States to expedite the scheduled return of US military bases by taking into account comprehensive social, economic and environmental issues," the ministry said. (Yonhap)
The situation means South Korea is more likely to be on the hook for the costs of cleaning up the 340,000 square meters of the camp, which is to be the first US base returned to South Korea under the Moon Jae-in administration.
The reason Seoul is suspending environmental talks without an agreement is that it is focusing more on returning the base quickly than on continuing to try to hold the US military responsible for contamination cleanup that it refuses to perform. Wonju city government, which has been pushing plans to build a culture and sports park on the Camp Long site since 2012 after US forces departed and the camp was shut down in 2010, has proposed around 70 times that the central government hasten the return. The city government has already paid the Ministry of National Defense the 66.5 billion won (US$59.2 million) contracted amount to purchase the land.
Indeed, the Camp Castle and Busan DRMO base returns were both handled after the cases were referred to the special joint committee, without any cleanup measures taken by the US military. The Ministry of National Defense announced orders for a 19.6 billion won (US$17.5 million) cleanup project for the 200,000 square meter Camp Castle site after US troops left. Cleanup for the Busan DRMO (29,354 square meters) is expected to cost 6.8 billion won (US$6.1 million); the site has been left in its contaminated state for over two years as the Ministry of National Defense and Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport have shifted responsibility for the effort.
