Kim Jong Un is sending his younger sister, 30-year-old Kim Yo Jong, to South Korea for the upcoming Winter Olympics.

Today she landed in South Korea with this aircraft, an Ilyushin IL-62 (built in 1985). “Chammae One” is a remodeled version of the IL-62 built by Ilyushin of the Soviet Union. Already in 2013 China banned the plane from flying in its airspace.
