Aircraft Fighter
Why is there english writing on foreign fighter aircraft?
I saw a S Korean F-15K with ROKAF on it. Why isn't there anything in Korean on the aircraft? I see other things similar to that with different countries. Does anybody know why this is?
There is. The Korean flag has Korean writing on it. And in response to another responder... the F-15K was built by the Koreans. Thus the "K". They received a contract to build their own aircraft based upon the F-15 Eagle design from McDonnell Douglas. They even build their own tanks, M-16/M-4s, again under contract agreement from the US.
However, in answer to your question, English is the recognized language of the International Air Transport Association (IATA) and as such for many years it has been agreed that aircraft will include English markings, aircrew will use English in radio transmissions and all charts will be marked in English.
