1.Inside one of their underground bunkers
2.Spread within the bases near the dmz
3.Spread within bases not as near the dmz which is unlikely to become to opening victim to a first strike

But they must have some airplanes on ground - for sattelites eyes. If they can buy md-500 on black market - they probably may have also some newest experimental stealth china airplanes(but in single numbers) in mountain bases. Don't matter about trucks or homes for pilots - they probably life (like in survival) caves, and are happy that have some food for eat. They lack in energy, fuel - so probably they are transporting fuel using some underground tunnels(they have the deepest metro in the world so they known technology ) -not too often, but they don't need it. Probably the pilots are very bad trained (there was only 4 documented escapes by North Korean pilots) and they flight some times using old equipment - some of them we see(check wikipedia - the most training aircrafts are not jets- lack of fuel). I think they have stored every tank, vehicle, and rifle from korean war - maybe the next war in korea (when USA locate and find way how to fast destroy missiles, and nuclear plants deep in mountains) will be the last war of large numbers of t34 driven by fanatic koreans - that believe that this will destroy usa "trash tanks" (maybe propaganda use the photo from 30s when USarmy have trucks with "tank" sign written on white sheet;-) . Transport in North Korea are probably very based on trains (maybe they have large number of armoured trains from Soviets?) and...foots, bicycles. I think they don't have good hackers - lack of computers/mobile (and blackouts) phones and not money to hire large good staff like China. Maybe it's look like joke - but I think they more want peace than China or South Korea. Generals, the highest only probably known the truth about they army - the nuclear test are like desperate attemps to show that they can protect they territory. They can't count on China now - okay they are doing business with them, but China are investing in whole world, and whole world now buy some China products. If they will be conventional war probably there will die 5-10 millions of Koreans in first weeks, after last fanatic run - and after that (and escape of all highest rank officials) they will go on fields wandering for food, water. Maybe some fanatic generals will hide in mountain caves and they will find them after 20-40 years... -sorry for my english-i'm sleeping now, and not native speaker I think they have most of valuable aicraft in underground bases.

Also, I did not find any MiG-29's. What specific characteristics in the images (or other specific reasons) cause you to conclude that they’re decoys? Also, I did not find any MiG-29′s.

Why would you park that many of a highly prized airframe in North Korea so close and unprotected? I can assure you that North Korean leaders are not entirely stupid. Any newer equipment is more than likely stored in protected underground facilities, away from the elements and peering eyes of the good guys.

That should confirm what several others have said. As to the others posted here that people are asking about, I couldn't say.
