The Q-5, J-7, J-8 and older PLAAF aircraft
- Thread starter adeptitus
- Start date
What is that plane in the background? It appears to feature cone-shaped diffusers at the intakes, like Dassault Mirage. The Chinese characters say "May 17th, 1965". Not sure if the date has anything to do with the model.
Indeed !
Guys, not sure of this is the right thread but I have been unable to find info anywhere else. Question is if there is any details and images of the Lavochkin La-9/11 in PLAAF service? All images online seem to show refurbished museum aircraft and there is essentially nothing on units and history of these types in the PRC.

I don't think any of these two types are in service in China. They've been retired for 50 years at least.
This is the only picture I was able to find of La-11. I might give it another try later.

Great pic, thanks for posting, I had never seen a PLAAF
la-11 in camouflage, does anyone know what colours?
They have one la-11 at the Chinese Aviation Museum in Datangshang and one at Beijing Air and Space Museum. Don't know if some pictures of these planes are arround.
