Forum rules
ImageThis is the forum to share your recent aviation photos with the rest of the community, being photos not older than six months at the moment of topic opening. Theme-based topics, not about recent events, should go into the sub-forum.
Although we will not screen beforehand, we reserve the right to delete any images, especially if clearly unsharp or otherwise low in quality. For more information on how to upload you images, check this post.
In topic titles, please use airfield names in stead of just codes, and be clear about what kind of photos your viewers can expect (e.g. CIV/MIL, location etc.).

Finally, bring any photo criticism understandable and to the point, not cynical or offensive! Simultaneously, do not feel offended by criticism per se, but simply explain your motives, taste et cetera, or ignore if you wish so.

Zhuhai Airshow 2010 first impressions

Post by P.Terlouw »

After spending my first day at Zhuhai I already upload some raw files to let you have some impressions from the show. Although the quantity is low, the quality is very high and a nice opportunity to view some frontline PLAAF Chinese Air Force jets. Next week when I return I will add some more. Enjoy!

1. impressive H-6 bomber at the static show

2. JH-7 Leopard at the static show (what a large fighter btw)
Image

3. the new Y-8 ELINT version. They call it the KJ200
Image

4. Pakistani Air Force is present with three JF-17 fighters
Image

5. the main attraction: the 6 J-10's of the PLAAF Aerobatic Team
Image

6. in formation

7. spectacular cross over

8. Pakistani Air Force K-8 of the Sherdils Team

Great stuff! If only they would bring this show forward by a couple of weeks, then I could so easily combine it with a business trip to China... :( .
JH-7 Leopard at the static show (what a large fighter btw)
The JH-7 is indeed a big fighter, I saw a whole bunch of them (unfortunately all with their front in covers) parked under sunshelters at Yiwu naval air base. And it looks a whole lot older than it actually is....It looks a bit as a crossbreed between a Phantom and a Jaguar.

I was about to say the same thing, but the pictures are great! Nice to see aircraft that are not seen regularly. :mrgreen:
Cheers,

Great types they have there! Can't wait to see more! And I am a little curious about the security situation, and
the way to work there.
