Unknown. The heliport's public identifier (KR-0008) was removed from active aviation databases at an unspecified date. This represents a de-listing from public records rather than a specific date of physical closure.
Private Military Facility. The heliport is located within a secure, active military installation and was never intended for public or general aviation use. Its removal from public databases is a reflection of its restricted status, not a closure due to economic, safety, or civilian-to-military conversion reasons.
The site is the active headquarters of the ROK Army 7th Maneuver Corps in Gwangju, Gyeonggi Province. High-resolution satellite imagery confirms the helipad markings are still clearly visible and maintained on the building's roof, indicating the heliport remains in a state of readiness for military use.
The heliport, designated C272, is a rooftop helipad located on the main headquarters building of the Republic of Korea (ROK) Army's 7th Maneuver Corps (also known as the 'Vanguard Corps'). Its primary and sole purpose was to handle military helicopter operations, specifically for the transport of high-ranking command staff, visiting dignitaries, and for rapid deployment/evacuation from the command center. Its significance is directly tied to the operational command and control of this key ROK Army unit.
Zero. As an integral part of an active and high-security military command headquarters, there are no plans or prospects for this heliport to ever be opened for public or civilian use. Its operational status is determined exclusively by the needs of the Republic of Korea Army.
Delete this entry as it is a duplicate. When I edited this site, it created another C-272 with more accurate data. This is the old uncorrected site.
