I made a post below about joining the aero club for flight lessons at Osan, but am having a hard time contacting anyone by cell phone. I know the phone number is 784-4424

I have tried both of these methods which I've gotten from the OsanGuide website and from someone else:
Also, to reach Osan AB from other cities in Korea dial 0333-661 (784 prefixes) or 0333-660 (783 prefixes). To call Osan AB from a commercial phone in the US dial 011-82-333-660 or 661-XXXX.


To dial 784-4424 from downtown korea, dial 0505-784-4424.There will be no dial tone after 0505, so wait; longer than you want to wait-then it may ring.


However, neither method works. Any advice?

I just tried all sorts of ways from my cell...can't seem to figure it out.
However, I got a workaround for you:

From your cell phone dial 0505-738-2233 or 02-7918-2233, then you'll get another dial tone. Dial 8, 784-XXXX.

Good luck!

BTW. I just talked to the receptionist at the Aero Club.
from a cell phone 031-661-4424 works just fine. Anyhow, she stated non DOD civilians or contractors were not allowed to take flight lessons with the Aero Club.. Sorry :-\
So it's a moot point trying to get a hold of them anyhow. I asked if there were any local national flying centers to obtain a flying license and she said there were none that she knew of.

I vaguely remember reading about this somewhere, that all pilots in Korea were either trained in the ROK Air Force or they went to flight school in FL/AZ.

Hope that clears things up for you.

I just spoke to the receptionist today, and he confirmed that it is not possible to join, because I don't have base access. I am going to try and contact the Civil Air Patrol in the States, and see if any of them would give me a membership. I am in contact with an air force colonel who is willing to help me find a backdoor so I can join. I'm not going to give up yet...

0505 only works for Army instalations in Korea. In fact they have a commercial on AFN radio about it.

I call 031 - 661 - XXXX (the last four digits of the on base number).

Cheers,
Chuck
