Korean People's Army Air Force

It was basically an air show.

The most extraordinary thing about it that really hooked people was the fact that from the off, they were advertising that the Korean People's Army Air Force, the North Korean Air Force, were taking part.

in the flying display.

According to the website, I got some screen grabs here, a number of aircraft types are anticipated to take part, including MiG-21, MiG-29, Sukhoi Su-25, and Strangely Or not so strangely It made sense but it doesn't sound right Hughes MD500 helicopter And then they would also be parked up At the airport As a static display When they weren't flying So it was taking part at Wonsan International Airport, which is on the east side of the peninsula.

They call the Korean War the Victorious Fatherland Liberation War.

They had a few nice, exciting, enjoyer's items there.

So they had a few, you know, North Korean People's Army Air Force...

Fighters It's a Yak-9P I think That I've got on screen at the moment They had a La-11 They had a MiG-15 of course And they had a few downed UN forces So it's a Skyraider US Skyraider They had various other bits and bobs Aviation wise One of the highlights of the trip Was visiting the Pyongyang Microlighting Club Which was pretty brand new at the time I think it was literally less than a year old And I think it was the day we were meant to actually visit the Demilitarized Zone, but it was cancelled for some reason.
