J-15 carrier fighter thread

Three images of the three plane formation (J-15T, J-15D, and J-15). This was the formation that officially opened the Zhuhai Airshow.

They're letting people hide underneath the J-15T because it started raining.
I don't think PLAN is impressed with all that touching and photo snapping up close.

I am legitimately shocked that the PLA is allowing civilians to get that close to the aircraft.

Even though there is probably nothing decisively sensitive on the aircraft and there is probably a high degree of trust among the attendees, I'm surprised there is no barrier around the aircraft which is enforced

Just serving the people.

Indeed, it's only about one week since we know that type is in service, at the same time they already show one at Zhuhai - alone IMO a major surprise since IMO so far no PLAN aircraft ever participated - and now they let the peoples that close to it.

Really amazing and surprising.

Those pictures are a modeller's wet dreams. Kinda funny how a couple of weeks ago all we had were some grainy, long-range photos and now you can even count the rivets and bolts of every panel if you want.
