Good question, and these girls are all such "sweeties", my goodness, its like a beauty contest, and as much as I love Sukhoi, and the Russian Flankers with their OVT, I would bet the Shenyang birds have a much higher quality of fit and finish, they just look so "pristine", and to say I love the J-15 would be an understatement, what a pretty,,pretty airplane, even in primer, they are just gorgeous, lots of airplanes have "pretty" paint jobs, very few airplanes are just beautiful in their aerodynamic purity, the Flanker is in the latter category, like some of the truly classic beauties of the past, they look good with-out their fancy make-up.
