Post by Stratofreighter »

August 1st Acrobatic Team suffered a fatality during training, losing aircraft 09. Both pilots ejected. The front seat pilot landed with injuries but the pilot in the rear seat collided with another aircraft in the formation and died on impact. The other aircraft made a successful emergency landing. The casualty was Yu Xu, the first female pilot of August 1st, and one of four female combat aircraft pilots in the PLAAF.
