Hmm ... another question (@ Ultra ... since I can't read Chinese :p).

Any idea who's the guy in the middle ??? He looks like a pilot/test-pilot assigned to the J-15 squadron ... maybe !

Most of all I'm interested in the patch he has on the left side (right arm) ... looks like an J-15-patch or so ?? The man on the left in white is Senior Colonel Zhang Zheng, the captain of the Liaoning.

Deino give out homework assignments to his students to look for these types of pics on all the Chinese military BBS. And if the students find him nice pics that are interesting they get A+ for the class. So.. he got many helpers. :p

If it's a military vessel I think what we're seeing are the beginnings of the first Chinese LHD as mentioned in this article:

China really does not have the need nor the budget for CV's now that they have the Liaoning to experiment with, I believe even that was an opportunistic acquisition. Having a LHD to experiment with next makes a lot more sense. A LHD is also more useful than a CV in China's MOOTW and outlying islands scenarios.

What has been done, rebuilding Liaoning, developing J-15, building two bases for the ship, training crews for ship, aircraft and bases, was very expensive and it would be a waste of resources not no use what has been learned by building half a dozen flattops to improve the defence of China's coast and open the way to use them further away.
Building and learning to use a LHD will be another case altogether which will also be expensive and a waste of resources if not followed on with a series of similar ships.

Yes, from left to right
1. Captain Zhang Zheng of the carrier liaoning
2. Deputy Wing commander De mingMeng of the J-15 Squadron on liaoning
3. Marine commandos deputy commander Li Zhenhua.

And that's the new patch for the Naval aviation.

Now THAT is good stuff, Deino.

I have to wonder if these pics are related to the earlier event when we saw the four aircraft on the forward flight deck?

Or is this a new exercise?

Either way, it is good to see more of the Liaoning operating with more J-15s.

I hope later this Spring and then this summer to see more, with up to six production J-15s operating off of the Liaoning.

Thanks for these pics!
