Is it my imagination or are the North Koreans flying a number of Hughes helicopters? Good to see that North Korean plane spotters look remarkably like their western compatriots! :)

Only thing missing was Yung Fat One in his Cessna lookalike!

That was the famous Hughes Helicopters sale back in the 1980s:

Two Indicted in Sale of 87 Helicopters

Thanks for the feedback. Must admit I was not aware of the Semler brothers' sale. I note that they both did some prison time for their profits...
