Two SA-16 Albatrosses were sent to K-16 (Seoul Airport) in South Korea by the 581st ARCW to augment B Flight of the 6167th Air Base Group.
In 1952–1953, almost all flying operations were nighttime missions and included occasional drops of very young teenaged Korean nationals whose parents were well paid to allow their children to parachute into North Korea.
Their assignments were to visually obtain strategic intelligence on production facilities, transportation, troop placement, and other specifics.
They were to walk back to the battle lines and, using passwords, pass through to deliver the intelligence gathered to the proper US military authorities.
The old air base is now part of Kimpo (sometimes translated as Gimpo) International Airport, Gangseo District, Seoul, South Korea.
