A beautiful set of high-resolution images of J-16.

Can someone locate the airport on Google Earth based on the "Long-Live the CCP" phrase carved on the background hilltop?

An image was posted of a new J-16 with what appears to be a modified version of the WS-10B. The nozzles feathers are slightly longer and similar in shape - albeit not in colour - to those seen on the latest J-11BG. (Image via @罪恶大天使 from Weibo)

Would be interesting to see if all new batches planes are with the new nozzle petals ?

Could be Huizhou-Huiyang, home of the 26th Air Brigade ... but at GE I cannot see this text; also it is not located in Yunnan province ... so maybe Luliang, home of the 131st Air Brigade in Yunnan, but again I cannot find it at GE.

It is indeed Luliang at 25° 1'59.47"N 103°47'51.41"E about 15.5 km away from the airbase.

Reminds me of an F-15E image at a similar angle.

Yep, my thoughts exactly.

Su-35 doesnt have rear brake right?

Not in that position it doesn't. It's used for fuel and electronics.
