KAL 007 30 years later
Just ran across this, an interesting read, particularly the 3&4th paragraphs from the end.
Ex-Soviet Pilot Still Insists KAL 007 Was Spying - New York Times
"Now 52, with a thick shock of white hair, Colonel Osipovich, like many former military men, relies on a small pension, some $150 a month, he said.
But with the Government strapped for cash, he said he could not recall the last time he received his pension, and he depends on his small garden plot for food. Cucumbers are one of his staples."
