They probably use as much fuel in one sortie compared to what the PAF usually does in a year

Older H-6s are moved from bomber roles to PLA Air Force Flight Academy for pilot training. Previously, they were using Y-7 transport as trainers for H-6 pilots.

Huitong just updated his blog with the first clear image of a PLA Naval Aviation H-6J, albeit this particular aircraft shows a completely strange, unique number '9125' ... so is just the first regular '8' missing which would fit to a 89125 or is it a new system?

After some closer inspections I have the feeling the number is not manipulated. ... so again something new or back to the old serial system of Independent Regiments?!
