Hovercraft
[edit]Kibong-dong has sheds which could house approximately 52 hovercraft vessels.[1] The hovercraft sheds were constructed between 2000 and 2003.[1] Hovercraft were last observed in March 2013 Google Earth imagery, since that date free to use imagery has shown little evidence of activity of any kind.
