It is also a few miles southwest of Uiju Airfield , a military airbase. The airfield was designated as K by the USAF and was a frequent target during the Korean War because of its strategic importance, including not only based MiG and Yak aircraft, but also its proximity to major railroad lines.
On 1 November an RF observed 15 Yaks parked in revetments near the airfield, three flights of Fs proceeded to strafe the airfield destroying one Yak and damaging 6 others. On 23 January , 33 Fs of the 27th Fighter-Escort Wing attacked Sinuiju airfield, provoking a response from the MiGs based across the Chinese border at Antung airfield , with 4 MiGs shot down in the ensuing dogfights. On 9 July MiGs intercepted 6 Bs that were attacking the airfield, 1 MiG was shot down by escorting Fs while another was shot down by B gunners.
