An video from AVIC's weibo:

Interesting clip, add in the flash AVIC-version to this song genre: “Me & Homeland"... The Peter Chen version in Kuanzhai Alley in Chengdu is the best, followed by the one of Mr. Zhang & son in the Shenzhen North Railway Station, then the one in the Shaoguan City, Guangdong involved the Yao people!

This company named Shaanxi Aircraft Corp is now part of XAIC, right?
So do all those Y-8/9 planes developed by the 603rd RI?

Seems like a JH-7 crashed in Hainan.

Indeed, but it was a PLA Naval Aviation JH-7. May the pilots R.I.P.

Is there any dedicated thread for the JF-17 Thunder in this "Chinese Defence" column? And if not, where to post info about this type of aircraft? Thanks

I search this column the several references or mentioning of JF-17 are spread over many threads. Confusing.
