Bloody hell!! :eek: theres pictures of an f-22 being escorted into a Chinese airbase, and news items coming from Chinese sources saying that a pilot and an F-22 has defected and the pilot is seeking asylum.
A Chinese spokesperson from the PRC a PLAAF Major Hu Benadd stated the pilot of an F-22 has defected to Luqiao Airbase , and that the pilot is seeking asylum, and that the aircraft has been quarantined and may be returned "at sometime in the future".
A Japanese correspondent Jim Shu said that during the USAF's "Polar Foil" exercise the F-22 had made a run for it to the Chinese mainland , and the name and were abouts of the Pilots is unknown.
Heres a picture I grabbed taken from a Chinese news item, take a look at the tail of the F-22 it looks like its been blurred out in this news item.
