What I visualized when I read "When my name was Keoko"

When I was reading "When my name was Keoko," I visualized Tae-yul flying on the plane, and the glider, and how Omoni wailed when she read the letter sent by Taeyul. I also visualized Tae-yul flying from the base, with everyone saluting him and his crew.
