Appreciation
The creator of DPRK Studies stepped up to the plate and rescued this site from what could have been a sad ending.
I also want to thank the editor of The Fly Bottle for doing his part to save things as well.
Both of these guys have very busy schedules, so I am in their debts for turning things around so well.
Posting will resume shortly.

Hello,
As kapral160 has written on Polish DPRK forum, it appears that on english Wikipedia there is an information that first Tupolev Tu-204 has started service in Air Koryo. Do you know anything about that? There is a link to this info - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tupolev_Tu-204#Civil_operators - on list there is that Air Koryo already has one Tu-204 in service.
Great that your blog works well again, it’s one of my favourite sources of information about North Korea.
Greetings,
Mateusz from Poland,

I am no expert in this field, but according to the Air Koryo Wikipedia page (and if it is on Wikipedia it MUST be true), Air Koryo in fact does not have any Tupolev Tu-204s in servive, but it has 2 Tupolev Tu-204-300s on order.

Thanks for the complement. I am glad to be back in business.

It appears that the first Tu-204 has already been delivered on December 27, 2007.
