CCTV: China's first female J-10 pilots make overseas debut
Four female acrobatic pilots will perform at the Langkawi International Maritime & Aerospace Exhibition (LIMA) in Malaysia next week, in China-made J-10 fighters.
The four members of the People's Liberation Army (PLA) Air Force acrobatic team left for Malaysia on Wednesday in the J-10 fighter jets, said Air Force spokesman Shen Jinke.
Pilots 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, participated in a high-profile military parade marking the People's Republic of China's 60th anniversary in 2009.
They also performed with J-10 fighters at the 10th China International Aviation and Aerospace Exhibition in Zhuhai, Guangdong Province, last November.
