Female pilots also attended the funeral service. Zhang Bo, one of the pilots who enlisted in the air force at the same time as Yu, expressed her deep grief.

"She came a long way over the past 11 years to where she is today. It's not easy and it took lots of hard work. I feel very sorry for her," Zhang said.
