Ching Chuan Kang Air Base (, CCK) is a Republic of China Air Force (ROCAF) base located in Taichung, Taiwan. It is the home to the 3rd Tactical Fighter Wing, with three squadrons of F-CK-1 (IDF) air-defense /attack fighters. It is also used by the army's airborne and special operations command. Ching Chuan Kang Air Base is shared with Taichung Airport commonly known as Taichung Ching Chuang Kang Airport . ==History== Construction of the airfield started in 1957, and was given the highest priority of several projects begun after the situation between Taiwan and Mainland China became tense in the mid-1950s. Kung Kuan Air Base was renamed Ching Chuan Kang Air Base on 20 March 1966 in memory of ROC Army Gen. Qiu Qingquan, and was thereafter known throughout the theater by its initials, CCK. As of the late 1990s, the longest runway at Ching Chuan Kang was reportedly long. Taiwan obtained an initial batch of American F-104 Starfighters in 1960–61, and eventually received over 200 of these aircraft, all of which were withdrawn from service in the early 1990s. The Starfighters were operated by the 2nd/499th Tactical Fighter Wing at Hsinchu, the 3rd/427th TFW at Ching Chuan Kang AB, and the 5th/401st Tactical Combined Wing at Taoyuan. In May 1999 it was reported that China had built a replica of Ching Chuan Kang AB at a site near Dingxin airport () in the northwest province of Gansu, presumably to train units assigned to attack the Taiwanese facility in the event of conflict. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Ching Chuan Kang Air Base」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
