Re: Zhuhai Airshow 2010 some impressions
Very cool collection of shots (and aircraft). Hadn't seen a photo of the Chinese "Dauphin" before either.
Re: Zhuhai Airshow 2010 some impressions
Excellent set! That first shot is certainly something a bit different!
Re: Zhuhai Airshow 2010 some impressions
The Chengdu J10 looks very similar to the X-31 demonstrator that displayed at the 1995 Paris airshow!
Great photos from an airforce we don't see much of.

In fact the J10 was developed with help from IAI and shows influence of the ill-fated IAI Lavi fighter.

14. this Ilyushin Il-76MD was a very nice surprise visitor
15. J10A taxi out for their display
