Dear List:

    Here's another letter to Korea Herald that didn't get printed, or =
hasn't been yet, anyway:

=20
To the Editor:

          Let's see what happens if we apply common knowledge and common =
sense to the problem Editor-in-chief Lee Kyong-hee discusses so movingly =
in her July 17 column "For whom do they train?" about the US Air Force =
bombing range near Maehyang-ri.

         We know that there is also a ROK Air Force, whose pilots must =
surely practice the bombing and strafing skills they would need if =
hostilities broke out. Now, has anybody heard any complaints about their =
practice range? I certainly haven't. I suppose it's far enough away from =
the nearest village.=20

         Where is this other range?  I don't know, but it's a fair guess =
that it's here, in South Korea, which means it's within a half-hour =
subsonic commute for any US jet based here. It can hardly be busy all =
day long every day, so why not just let the US jets share it?=20
