Sokcho Air Base (IATA: SHO, ICAO: RKND) is an air base in Sokcho, Gangwon Province, South Korea.[1][2]
The airport had a single 1,560 meter runway (05/23). It used to serve people who went to Seoraksan for hiking. The airport was closed prior to the opening of Yangyang International Airport.[citation needed]
During the Korean War the USAF designated the base as K-50.
