Two new aerobatic teams take to the skies

BEIJING - The People's Liberation Army Air Force announced on Thursday the formation of two aerobatic demonstration teams, which will make their debuts at an air show next month.

The teams, named the Flying Wings and Red Eagles, will make their debuts at the Changchun Air Show to be held in Northeast China next month. They are meant to help pave the way for international military exchanges and to make the public more aware of China's national interest in airspace security, said Zhao Jingbo, deputy chief of the Chinese Air Force Command's training department.

To that end, they will work alongside the August First Air Demonstration Team, the aerobatic demonstration team of the People's Liberation Army Air Force.
