...Say what you want but kudos to the NKoreans for keeping those ole
Tumansky turbo-jet engines running! When all else fails, nothing like a
little chewing gum and baling wire to fix those little
annoying/reoccurring problems.

I wonder how many of those are hangar queens, trotted out only for special
occasions and propaganda films.

"...annual flying hours (AFH) AFH per pilot for the KPAF are said to be only 15
or 25 hours per pilot each year - comparable to the flying hours of air forces
in ex-Soviet countries in the early 1990s. In comparison, most NATO fighter
pilots fly at least 150 hours a year.
