He went on to fly in Korea in the new Lockheed F-80 Shooting Star, then North American F-86 Sabres, managing to shoot down a total of ten enemy aircraft. On July 27, 1953, the day of the armistice, then Captain Parr scored the last aerial 'kill' of the War by shooting down a Soviet Navy Ilyushin Il-12.

Col. Ralph Parr's military career spanned 34 years and three wars, giving him a total of 641 combat missions, including two tours and 427 missions in Vietnam where he was an F-4 Phantom II squadron commander.
