The world-renowned 2008 China International Air & Space Exhibition (Zhuhai Airshow) and the "Eighth China International Airport Show" will be held in Zhuhai from November 4 to 9, 2008. The China International Air & Space Exhibition [shortened as the China Airshow] is the only international air and space exhibition approved by the central government of China. It mainly consists of physical displays, technical exchanges, business negotiations, and flight performances, and is held every even-numbered year in Zhuhai.
Aerial stunt flying performances are one of the highlights of the airshow, leaving unforgettable memories for countless spectators. World-class aerial stunt flying teams such as the Chinese People's Liberation Army Air Force "August 1st", the Russian Air Force "Knights" and "Swifts", the French Air Force "Patrouille de France", and the British "Golden Dream" and "UBB" have all showcased their "aerial stunts" at the airshow, dancing gracefully across the blue skies.
Unlike previous editions of the airshow, key domestic aircraft models will make appearances at this year's Zhuhai Airshow. Among them are: 3 J-10s, 2 J-8Bs, 1 Huyou-6, and 1 Feibao-A. It is understood that one of the J-10s will perform a flight demonstration, while the other two will be on static display. The Huyou-6 will conduct an aerial refueling performance during this airshow. In addition, over a dozen aircraft will participate in flight demonstrations. However, the domestically produced FC-1 Xiaolong fighter jet, which was rumored to attend the airshow, did not make an appearance.
