Air Force honors anniversary, 'harmonious skies'

Two J-10 multi-role fighters demonstrate their capabilities yesterday during a rehearsal for a November 11 celebration marking the 60th anniversary of the founding of the People's Liberation Army Air Force. Four J-10 fighters and six J-7 fighters from the Air Force's performance team are scheduled to fly over the anniversary celebration, and paratroopers will put on a skydiving exhibition. An international military forum themed "harmonious skies" will also be held in Beijing this month. More than 300 senior air force officers from China and over 30 other countries are expected to attend the forum, also part of the anniversary festivities.
