There were several advance air fields in North Korea opened during the 
advance.  The only one I can think of which might fit is Sinuiju Air Field 
(K-30) on the Ch'unch'on River.(west coast)  F-51s used it to fly 
ground-support missions and C-46 & C-47's landed there.  However, I 
understand everyone was able to pull out ahead of the Chinese advance.
