Three more J-16 serial numbers

J-16 No. 56 (the tail number should be 70596),
the young pilot may come from the 99th Brigade(trained by the pilot from the 98th), but the J-16 behind was from the 98th Brigade

J-16 No. 87 (the tail number should be 70897)
View attachment 98627

The footage above and a few other presentations were shot in front of the maintenance hangar at Baishiyi AB of the 98th Brigade

Back to the large hargar at Hotan AB, J-16 No. 45, safe to say it's from the 99th Brigade, so the tail number should be 71405

What the 99th Brigade(formerly the 99th Regiment of the 33th Division) used to fly

So as it seems, another J-7s are getting replaced. I believe it is safe to assume the 2020s is the last decade for frontline J-7s and for the few J-8s left.
