An airplane-shaped structure in the Mirim area of Namsan-dong, Sadong District, Pyongyang, draws the attention of many people.

Resembling a plane about to take off, it is the Mirim Aviation Club.

Standing side by side with the Mirim Riding Club, it is also a leisure centre frequented by working people.

Air hostesses of the Mirim Aviation Club say smilingly that the clients in flying suits swaggering with helmets under their arms look like fighter pilots fully ready to make a sortie.

However, such elated persons get very nervous once on the seat of a plane.

Not only women but also men show such nervousness.

The Taekwon-Do teaching and training support system developed by the Taekwon-Do Science Institute of the Korean Taekwon-Do Committee is winning popularity among experts.

The system creates the database of information about past competitions, especially that about matches of aces, physical preparedness of players and others and sets the standard values which should be reached by players according to their ages.

Two Su-27 fighter jets urgently took off and drove them away.

The relay squads for sending a letter of loyalty of the Korean Children’s Union across the country, who left the City of Samjiyon, the sacred place of revolution, on May 18, continue running toward the capital city of Pyongyang, divided into east and west coastal regions.
