That's what the newly constructed runway in Fiery Cross is for. When there's a situation, the fighters would quickly go from Woody island and reach Fiery Cross for however long duration is needed.

Of course it would be...but we have many photos of the construction process and I have not seen them.
They may well be there...if they base aircraft (as opposed to simply rotating them through) there we can be sure that they are.

So apparently something did fly at SAC.
Unfortunately though, if Huitong is to be believed, it was kind of a letdown.

PS: You mean the second J-11D !!
Even if surely disappointing in comparison to an expected really new bird like the J-18, it is anyway important to see some progress on the J-11D.
But just as I say "SEE" .... I wanna see some images !!!

I think that whoever manages that site has a lot of information, but it is woefully lacking in organization. I mean, the fighters entrance usually is a pile of a text with no paragraphs that just keeps growing year after year. The text isnt even justified. A painful mess to behold.
In terms of the content, i find it a pity that the naval section was cut out. I know that it wasnt the topic of the site. But even so, it had useful info IMO.

regarding the J-11D, is it visually diferent from j-11B ?
"Whoever manages that site" -- you mean Huitong himself?
It's meant to be a site which aggregates new rumours and knowledge... not being super user friendly is a small price to pay.
It features a canted radome similar in shape to J-10B/C.
Thanks for sharing your opinion about my web site.
I am glad I finally have the chance here to share some of my own.
Keep in mind my site was first up in 1995, that was 20 years ago! Try to image how many times in the past 20 years I had to edit the text for every type of missile and aircraft.
You probably have realized the format of my web site is unique and always the same. If I keep the popular format like most blogs on Facebook or Twitter, you would have hundreds of pages of log entries of all the updates to go through. Then after some time most people would just give up and ignore all the old ones.
That could be a huge waste of resourses and is not the situation I am hoping. Therefore I have been trying to keep it unchanged in the past 20 years, with no fancy decorations like flash-based animations.
Basically my web site is made of highly condensed pieces of information. Each entry, most less than 30 lines of text, would give you all the essential, uptodate information supported by carefully selected high qualify pictures. And all similar types of aircraft are bundled together on the same page.
I believe most of my regular visitors have gotten used to it. What they want is to go straight to the real "hot & juicy" stuff, all at the same place, no BS. Consequently it is difficult for each entry with only 20 or so lines to maintain a highly organized structure due to constant updating (or piling) of new information, even though I have been trying to.
In other words I don't want my web site to become another wiki (how often do they update wiki? Once every 3 months?). Mine is a highly active web site just like those popular blogs on Facebook or Twitter.

Thank you Huitong!
You have a truly excellent web site that probably everyone of us here has benefited from over the many years.
We welcome your input and thoughts here on SD as always!
Hi huitong. Nice to see you here.
Im not saying that your website should have a format like other blogs. Part of the fun of having a website is to make it our own, not others copy.
However a website shouldnt have entries that consist in huge walls of added text through the years with no paragraphs nor justified text. Nor there is any need to it. You can succint the old information and present the latest information. Of course, it requires time/effort and its your website, not anyone´s else. But even so, it would be nice if that was the case.
