Actually remarkably 'cheap' at £2,695!

Though I was amused at the promotion of an inclusive photography workshop... as if the 10 folk paying that sort of money won't already be experienced airshow photographers.

Juche Travel were very reasonable in price and the overall experience was intriguing, travelling via Beijing then on to Pyong Yang by
TU-204, Great chance to fly on types not even in use any where in the ''West''  An-2, An-24, IL-18,1L-62 IL-76 and Tu-204.
As I mentioned before the North Koreans bent over backwards to allow access, but were a bit strict about what you could photo.
Also you have to put up with a bit of propoaganda

But given the recent missile tests etc and rising tensions I'd just be afraid of not getting back out lol
