cairo, august 28 (xinhua) -- the chinese air force's y-20 and j-10 performance aircraft formation, which was invited to participate in the first egypt air show, flew over the pyramids on the 28th, leaving a historical testimony to the friendship between china and egypt.
at noon local time on the 28th, a y-20 of the chinese air force and a formation of six j-10 aerobatic aircraft from the air force's august 1st flying team flew over the pyramids. the j-10 aerobatic aircraft pulled out six colored smoke trails in the air in the colors of the national flags of china and egypt. the audience in the giza pyramids scenic area rushed to take photos.
"this year marks the 10th anniversary of the establishment of a comprehensive strategic partnership between china and egypt. this flight show is a perfect fusion of modern technology and historical monuments, leaving behind wonderful moments and the 'track of friendship'," said li bin, captain of the air force's august 1st flying demonstration team.
according to y-20 pilot pang rongqi, the y-20 invited to the exhibition had traveled to tonga to carry out the task of transporting relief supplies. the mission crew had participated in more than 10 major tasks such as international humanitarian rescue and transporting the remains of the chinese people's volunteer army martyrs in south korea back to china.
air force spokesman xie peng said recently that this was the first time that the air force's august 1st flying team went to an african country for a flight show, and it was also the longest flight the team had ever taken abroad. the mission crew flew over gobi, snow-capped mountains, oceans, and deserts along the way, which not only tested their mission capabilities, but also demonstrated the chinese air force's long-range mobile delivery capabilities and actual combat training level.
it is understood that the first egypt air show will be held from september 3 to 5. during the period, the y-20 and j-10 performance aircraft will dance together in the blue sky, fully demonstrating the confident and open style of the chinese air force.
