North Korean leader Kim Jong-un disembarks from an airplane at Samjiyon Airport near Mt. Paekdu, in a photo that appeared in the Rodong Sinmun newspaper on Apr. 2. It’s the first image North Korea has released of the leader using a plane. His late father and former leader Kim Jong-il didn’t like to fly and used a train for nearly all of his long distance travel. (Yonhap News)
