Taejon Airfield serves Taejon, KR.
Taejon Airfield (K-5 Air Base), located northwest of Daejeon, South Korea, was a military airfield used by both the United States Air Force and the Republic of Korea Air Force. It was originally built in the 1940s and saw significant use during the Korean War, including being a site for early Forward Air Control (FAC) missions and a key battleground during the Battle of Taejon in July 1950. The airfield was decommissioned and closed in the 1980s due to the expansion of the city of Daejeon, and the site is now a commercial and residential area, with a memorial stone for the Battle of Taejon at Boramae Park. The airfield was officially marked as "CLOSED" on OurAirports in 2017.
