The 25th Fighter Squadron (25 FS) is part of the 51st Fighter Wing at Osan Air Base, South Korea. It operates the A-10 Thunderbolt II aircraft conducting close air support missions. The official motto of the 25th Fighter Squadron is "PILSUNG!" meaning certain victory in Korean. It is customary/mandatory that any time the number 25 or any variation of 25 (2.5, .25, etc.) is said, every ATTACK pilot will shout a hearty "PILSUNG!" under any circumstance, regardless of who said it or who was briefing. The Squadron is unofficially known as the "Flying Elvises" and have unlimited knowledge on everything regarding the King. Many stories are out there in regards to how this name came about, but the best and 10% true story is as follows: About 25 years ago, a group of 25th ATTACK pilots took a helicopter up north near the DMZ and parachuted out for fun. Since this was around the time that "Honeymoon in Vegas" had just came out, the Commander at the time is to have said..."Tell those flying Elvises they are grounded!" The name stuck.
