Yu Xu, Tao Jiali, Sheng Yifei and He Xiaoli's stunt show will be the first
time China's female fighter pilots have performed abroad, Shen said.
The four women, with an average of more than 800 flight hours experience, had also participated in a high-profile military parade marking the People's Republic of China's 60th anniversary in 2009. They had also performed with J-10 fighters at the 10th China International Aviation and Aerospace Exhibition in Zhuhai, Guangdong Province, last November. The five-day Langkawi International Maritime & Aerospace Exhibition (LIMA) show, held since 1991, will open next Tuesday. Fighter jets from Malaysia, Thailand, United States and France will also perform at the air show, as well as the UAE Air Force's Al Fursan acrobatic patrol. Complete aerial display program is available here. Shen said the Air Force had in recent years paid more attention to international exchanges. The Air Force acrobatic team gave its first overseas
performance at the Moscow air show in 2013. |
