Google Earth Shows North Korea’s Underground Airbases
|This should not really be surprising to anyone that has been following North Korea that they have underground facilities to hide their aircraft in:
North Korea’s fighter jets are heading to its mountains, where its concealed air bases are located.
Joong Ang Ilbo
The JoongAng Ilbo confirmed in a report Monday through satellite imagery from Google Earth that North Korea’s Air Force bases are either built in mountains, or its taxiways and runways link underground bases.
The exceptions are the Sunan Airport near Pyongyang and Kalma Airport near the Wonsan in Kangwon Province.
The Uiju airfield located in North Pyongan Province, near the border with China, which has recently been equipped with quarantine facilities in preparation for North Korea to open up trade with China, is also connected to the mountains through a taxiway.

wow, not news. There is a nK airbase near Sinanju that the they can take off and land out of a mountain (runway goes through the mountain). Nothing new in nK.
The norks must have mole DNA or a lot of slave labor in the gulags.
Not like those planes matter much.
Hey! Those MIG-15s could bring a high price with collectors in the US and Europe!
