Pyongyang, November 26 (KCNA) -- General Secretary Kim Jong Il inspected KPA Air Force Unit 1016 honored with the title of O Jung Hup-led Seventh Regiment.

After acknowledging the salute he acquainted himself with the unit's performance of guard duty and preparations for the new year's combat and political training.

He expressed satisfaction over the fact that the unit has steadily improved its pilots' aeronautics with excellent training facilities while carrying on its guard duty in a responsible manner with high vigilance against the enemies' moves for aggression.

He toured a wind power plant built by the unit. After being briefed on the plant, he went round its inside and outside to learn about its construction and output of electricity.

Very pleased to hear that servicepersons of the unit successfully completed the plant with high output capacity in cooperation with Kim Chaek University of Technology and scientific institutions, he gave a high appreciation of their merit.

I am relaxed to hear that pilots and servicepersons rejoice at the plant as they can freely use enough electricity for combat preparations while cooking and heating with it, he said.

Being told that the plant freed the unit from the shortage of electricity and some of excessive power is supplied even to a bathing resort in the unit's stationary area, he said with high appreciation that the People's Army has done good things for the people.

After his inspection, Kim Jong Il gave the accompanying commanding officials and staff members of the KPA Supreme Command precious teachings needed to further strengthen the KPA into an invincible revolutionary army of Mt. Paektu and thus defend the socialist motherland as firm as a rock.

Accompanying him were Kim Jong Un, vice-chairman of the WPK Central Military Commission, KPA Vice Marshal Ri Yong Ho, member of the Presidium of the Political Bureau of the C.C., WPK and chief of the KPA General Staff, Jang Song Thaek, alternate member of the Political Bureau of the C.C., WPK and vice-chairman of the NDC, KPA General Kim Jong Gak, alternate member of the Political Bureau of the C.C., WPK and first vice-director of the KPA General Political Bureau, Kim Kyong Ok, first vice department director of the C.C., WPK, KPA Generals Kim Won Hong, Pak Jae Gyong and Hyon Chol Hae and staff members of the KPA Supreme Command.
