ISLAMABAD: Pakistan is eyeing formal induction of the newly-launched JF-17B dual seat fighter jet by April 2017, the Pakistan Air Force (PAF) announced on Wednesday.
Production of the first JF-17B was initiated by Pakistan and China during a joint ceremony at Chengdu Aerospace Corporation. The jet is set to make its maiden flight by the end of this year, the PAF said.
The dual seat aircraft will enhance training value and operational capability, Air Marshal Muhammad Iqbal said at the ceremony. He also thanked Chinese leadership for their continuous support in the design, development and manufacturing phases of the JF-17 development project.
Chinese leadership paid tribute to PAF authorities for operationalising the aircraft and expressed their resolve to continue support for development work of JF-17 project.

So we have a date for induction of JF-17B. Good going. The pace of induction of single seater JF-17 as well as export sales prospects would both improve.
But for me the real boost would be changing the engine, possibly in 4th block.

Looks like a J-8II at 0:52
It looks scarily close. I have seen videos in which planes are similarly close but they are mostly from parades of same types of plane in formation. Good job.
