I am not sure how many Chinese pilots frequent our forums, so I'll speak up here.
It's 2016, friends, and there are lady fighter pilots aplenty nowadays. Let's treat our ladies as members of "the brotherhood" (even though we may need a new term since it isn't just men doing this anymore). Yu Xu died doing something she loved, as have a great many of our comrades in arms over the years. She's part of the select club of military aviators, and the even more select club of fast jet military aviators. Whatever the country of origin, she is (was) one of us: at least in spirit.
RIP, Yu Xu, and may your next flight be with the angels.
EDIT: As the posts that got me to raise an eyebrow have been removed, this post is edited to remove my appeal for a second look.
