(26.3.2014) — A Republic of Korea Navy P-3C Orion takes off from RAAF Base Pearce, Western Australia in support of the Australian Maritime Safety Authority-led search for Malaysia Airlines Flight MH370 in the southern Indian Ocean.

The Republic of Korea has bolstered the international search efforts for missing Malaysia Airlines Flight MH370 with a P-3C Orion supported by a C-130H Hercules on 25 March, 2014. The arrival of the?RoK aircraft at RAAF Base Pearce sees the support to the Australian Maritime Safety Authority-led search increase to five countries. Four RAAF AP-3C Orion maritime patrol aircraft and HMAS Success along with four Chinese ships, Xue Long, Kuulunshan, Haikon, and Qiandaohu, are involved in the search. An RNZAF P-3K2 Orion, a USN P-8 Poseidon, two PLAAF Ilyushin Il-76s, and two JMSDF P-3C Orions form the international military contribution, along with the P-3C Orion and C-130H Hercules from the Republic of Korea. With these ships and aircraft, search and rescue operations are able to be conducted continuously throughout daylight hours.
