By Yu Tai-lang and Jonathan Chin / Staff reporter, with staff writer and CNAThe air force yesterday said it would investigate a possible state security breach after photographs of a young woman in an F-16 jet cockpit at Hualien Air Force Base were posted online. One of the images showed a young woman in the cockpit of the F-16, while another showed an air force technician surnamed Lin (林) and another person in front of the aircraft. Air Force Command Headquarters immediately launched an investigation and identified Lin as an air force sergeant who served with the Hualien-based 26th Tactical Fighter Group before he retired in 2013, the air force said. Although Lin has retired from the air force, he is still required to comply with certain military regulations, the officer said, adding that personnel involved in the affair would be disciplined. The case came to light after Lee on April 2 that year uploaded photos from her visit on Facebook, sparking public criticism of loose security in the nation’s military.
