Tally.
Any news about it? Is it another case of IPP/OBOGS malfunction?
No idea other than noise in the cockpit and thought it could be an issue with the cabin pressurization.

I presume transferred to 308th FS or still operated by 323TES?

South Korean unmarked (either 20-022 or 20-023) and also 20-024 seen flying at Fort Worth on May 29th. '23' and '24' are number 7 and 8 of this year, with South Korea 'only' having 6 on order in Lot 12 (as far as we know). ????

The main gear did not wanted to retract. So it was a rather short flight.

Greets,
20-022 is marked. So my best guess is that it was 20-023. Other than the ROKAF roundel it had no tail number visible at all.
20-024 on the other hand was fully marked.

Most probably. And for my earlier remark, South Korea has 12 jets in Lot 12 (as mentioned in this thread on numerous occasions in the past, but unconfirmed at the time).
