IL-62
An-148
I REALLY like that Kim Jong-un is leaving behind a lot of ‘comfort zone’ behavior and tradition of previous dictator North Korean leaders. This pushing of the traditional boundaries bodes well for true change. But we shall see. He’s already done 2 MAJOR actions to show more than just good faith. But commitment to change. I know we all need to be cautious. VERY much so. But I am hopeful. Apparently this guy really hates being called names ;D.
I kind of like Easter Island for the planned summit. I hear the turtle soup there is excellent.
"Overseas" has a broad definition these days I guess.
IL-62 is a good Soviet-built passenger aircraft.
Aeroflot has replaced nearly all of its fleet with Western planes.
Kruschev came on an IL-62 to the US during a state visit in 1959.
We know Trump loves planes, he might be able to flatter Fat Boy if he sees he’s been in the cockpit pretending to be a pilot.
How they ever fit him in a cockpit, who knows.
Send him Trump Force One, I am sure it is in a Temp Controlled hangar somewhere, up to FAR spec, and spit polished. Get him their reliably.
Well I’ll be gosh darned.
He flew. That is interesting.
He’s going to Singapore to meet Trumpy baby. I just have this feeling that all this sounds too good to be true. Believe me, I love seeing Trump haters bend themselves into pretzels trying to not give him credit for this success. But how do you go from a vicious mad dog dictator to lovable puppy dog overnight? Somehow something doesn’t smell right. I am glad that the prisoners were released but that’s like a robber taking your money and give it back to you and thanking them for being gracious. We’ll see how it goes. I hope we don’t end up giving Lil Dong a break and he continues his tyranny. The punk is still a punk and one of the conditions of whatever agreement comes to pass is that he’s gotta go.
Or he could go by submarine...oh wait! How wide is the hatch?
We shall see if that comes true, which would be a real "future proves past."
How do you travel overseas by train? Is there a long bridge?
Announcing the when and where of such a meeting this far in advance is a risky proposition. It gives all sorts of bad actors prep time to disrupt proceedings or set up to kill participants. Our own home-grown left could even try something, with plausible deniability. The last thing they want is a Trump success!
They’ve got time to get a modern Chinese plane repainted before the trip. I would do that before I flew any of his own tree top airlines planes.
Glad to see that China has the pop-up, pop-out, drop-frame crap figured out.
Horrendous web site design.
You know their economy is thin when their leader is jetting around in old Soviet planes.
Actually, ALL of NK’s jets are the Juche-fruit’s private jets.
