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.  
   
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.
