Great stuff, good to see more SAR coverage off the coast of China.

However, to be historically correct, the first "SAR airport" in China was actually Kai Tak, followed by Chek Lap Kok. GFS has been operating SAR aircraft since its formation in 1993 and is just therefore celebrating its first decade of operations. Both of these are of course in Hong Kong, which has been part of China since July 1st, 1997.
