Kim Jong Un mounted the command post, received a report on the flight drill program and guided the drills.

Watching successful diverse militant actions of airmen including take-off and landing and air combat, he said they were very good in training. He praised them for having acquired high flying skills as intended by the party.

He expressed great satisfaction, noting that the airmen of the unit are fully ready to make sorties any moment.

"I always think of the air routes covered by the pilots to reliably defend the sky of the country", he said, asking commanding officers to convey his feelings to them.

He gave an instruction to further intensify the flight training in the future to fully prepare the pilots as death-defying corps and able combat pilots capable of skillfully fighting a modern war.

He went round the newly built place for combat duty and the airshed visited by General Secretary Kim Jong Il.

Going round the monument to the field guidance provided by Kim Jong Il standing at the command of the unit, he instructed the unit to preserve well the photos of Kim Jong Il and take good care of the monument so as to let airmen and other service personnel always bear his undying feats deep in mind.

He stressed the need for the pilots of the unit to make good preparations for the military parade for celebrating the 60th anniversary of the victory in the war.

He expressed great expectation and conviction that the service personnel of the unit would put bigger spurs to rounding off the combat preparations and thus defend the sky of the socialist country as firm as an iron wall.

He was accompanied by Choe Ryong Hae, Yun Tong Hyon and Hong Yong Chil.
