Looks great! Where do I sign up?

I think the guy writing the letter home may have just been selected to be a Bird Repeller. :uhoh:

Not too dissimilar to our own recruiting images really, though I wasn't aware that the Breitling Wing Walkers are part of the PLAAF. And they've even got their own Top Gun moment:

You may have heated arguments with your comrades about technical problems that will strengthen your skills and friendships.

Doesn't quite have the impact of "I will fire when I am goddamn good and ready! You got that?" though...

I wouldn't joke too much about it. My first experience with the PLAAF was in 1995. Since then, as a fighting service it has been totally transformed for the better. Equipment, T&Cs, training, the list goes on.

I like the leather flying jackets, but I pity the poor crew running to the jet last in the line.
You would have thought they would provided a crew bus!!

We had to run that far in the sixties. You don't now, the Royal Air Force hasn't got that many aircraft.

Pilot Jiang Jiaji brings a jet to the takeoff line. All successful takeoffs are the result of countless hours of practice.
Bit harsh. I'm sure the unsuccessful ones were practised just as much.
