Many thanks to SWLing Post contributor, Mark Fahey, who writes:

[A] great aircraft hijacking story with a shortwave twist".

Read the full article from NK News on the link below-the shortwave twists are here in two interesting paragraphs"

"Two fight attendants from the YS-11 eventually emerged as announcers on the "Voice of the National Salvation," a North Korean propaganda radio station targeting South Korean audiences."

"The station claimed to be a voice of the alleged South Korean underground Juche resistance, and thus it badly needed broadcasters who were capable of speaking polished, Seoul-style Korean."

Thank you, Mark. I was not aware of this story. It was too bad for those flight attendants that they had a skill the North Korea propaganda machine needed.
