Reporter: Compared to the previous two Zhuhai Air Show, the Zhuhai Airshow this we only saw an FC-1. Why on such a grand celebration, Pakistan did not send "lion" flight demonstration team it?
Khalid: This year's air show is different. This year's focus is the J-31, -20, and various radar operation. With them, this is a good session airshow. We understand that. But we also brought a gift, you can see us on the outside of the JF-17 (ie, FC-1).
Reporter: Zhuhai Airshow previous two we can encounter a lot of the Pakistan Air Force pilots and ground crew. But this year we often encounter on the Zhuhai Airshow UAE pilots rarely see Pakistan Air Force personnel.
Khalid: Yes. Before we send a lot of planes fly in Zhuhai, so we'll have a lot of pilots, engineers and service staff. But this time we are coming from Chengdu, came only six people.
Reporter: As you said, the focus is on J-31, you have any comments on behind the J-31?
Khalid: This is a high-tech and high-quality aircraft. Really impressive, so that everyone participate in Zhuhai Air Show this session have left a deep impression. This is a strong signal that China has made considerable progress in aircraft manufacturing. This is a huge jump, but this is not the first time, but the second time. We are also very proud of this, because you are our friend.
