Kim Jong Un attends flight contest by North Korea’s “invincible” air force: KCNA

"Combat Flight Contest-2019" comes amid growing DPRK complaints over upcoming ROK-U.S. air drills

North Korean leader Kim Jong Un on Friday attended a flight contest by the country's Korean People's Army Air and Anti-Air Force, the Korean Central News Agency (KCNA) reported Saturday, hailing the "invincible might" of the country's flying corps.

The exercise, overseen by the DPRK leader, top officials from the Central Committee of the ruling Workers' Party of Korea (WPK), and military commanders, saw pilots "conduct bombing flight and firing flight under the command of the formation flight."
