This is suppose to be the production plane with the serial or unit number blotted out.

interesting, I wonder why they didn't go with the standard two tone grey colour scheme on Il-76s and Y-9s...

Here it is a bit larger ... ... but why do I have that strange feeling, that the PLAAF-symbol and that serial - esp. much too large - looks fishy ?

Well done to PLAAF !!

Now let see some serious fast deliverys

Not like Y8/9 Slow paced stuff

I'm taking one delivery every month after a while when production is ramped up

Heh, there's a difference between there being fast paced deliveries and us being able to identify deliveries. For all we know, Y-9s have been being produced at a fast rate as well but we just don't have any pictures. In the same way, it may well be that after a little while we will not have any ability to keep track of Y-20 deliveries either.

So we shouldn't have our hopes too high.
