The Air Force August 1st Aerobatic Team

Six J-10 demonstration aircraft maintained a tight formation

along the valley flight path

The formation released colored smoke as they flew low over the Great Wall

paying tribute to the blue sky with their soaring posture

and celebrating the mountains and rivers with their magnificent flight trails

Wang Xuesong from the Air Force August 1st Aerobatic Team:

"Flying through the valley

is also a combat training project

for our Air Force aviation troops

which reflects our Air Force's combat style

and is a manifestation of our realistic training."

The Huangyaguan Great Wall is a world cultural heritage

and an important part of the Great Wall.

This flight

is the Air Force August 1st Aerobatic Team's

second time flying over the Huangyaguan Great Wall

after their flight in 2018 and

the flight over the Egyptian pyramids in 2024,

once again flying over a world landmark.

Zhao Chenglong from the Air Force August 1st Aerobatic Team:

"On the occasion of the 77th anniversary of the People's Air Force,

we flew our warbirds over Huangyaguan

and when looking down at the Great Wall from the sky,

we thought about how we have also established

a new 'Blue Sky Great Wall' in the new era

to safeguard the country's aerospace security.

We also wish the People's Air Force to fly higher

and further."
