Hoping for a lot of slick demos earning them a lot of approving notches in the next two seasons.

Anyone who knows which squadron(s) they are from?

So according to that page no special colors? So the j-015 is to be returned to normal duty?

Looks like they altered the message, as there was mentioning of a "grey one" (speaking about the plane) to be used.

Their earlier announced reports speak against each other but hopefully the Orange Lion scheme can be kept for an other year (as the last phrase implies). It remains a nice change of sight between all those grey machines :wink:

Would guess a grey standard colourscheme to be honest.

My inside source tells me the Orange Lion has about 150 roaring hours left and will not be painted grey this airshowseason. So, one more season of orange supremacy :)
