As someone here hinted too I think he was planing on making a right turn over China and heading north east for an airfield near Vladivostok.

Are you implying that The Dear Leader is not able to travel through time?

Looking at the image... dang, that looks to be an old, beat-up plane. Perhaps it's a wonder she even managed to take off.

We are all traveling though time right now. Forwards at the same rate as each other.

How can we be traveling through time when we never leave the present?

The present is always moving forward.

But, the present being all there is, where (or when) can it go that is not also the present?

That is where Relativity pops up. As speed increases so does your perception of time. Lets take Sergei K. Krikalev as an example, he has spent over 800 days in space at a significant velocity in relation do us on Earth. Time dilated for him by small fraction of a second so when he landed back on Earth our present became his future... by a tiny fraction of a second.

China has a repatriation agreement with North Korea, which could explain why the pilot may have been trying to reach Russia, the report added.

Damn that fine print.

Pffft, don't you know that all MiGs are the same? All these numbers are just thrown in to confuse the enemy

Lockheed does the same thing, they bump the digit after the 'F-' up a number or two and add another 0 to the price tag.

They'd be better off adding another F because that's the letter that probably gets most used when potential buyers see the price tag...
