The flight lasted for more than an hour
and focused on getting familiar with the environment, unaided eye
reconnaissance and searching for combat targets, said Wang Xiaoliang,
one of the pilots.
Since the Chinese unit arrived here
Friday, they had been briefed by their hosts on airport procedures,
airspace control, weather conditions and notice alerts, and had examined
the runway, tarmac and tower, Wang said.
The joint drill, code-named Peace
Mission-2013 and running from July 27 to Aug. 15, has three phases --
troop deployment, battle planning and simulated combat.
The JH-7A, developed in the 1990s, is a
multirole interdiction and attack aircraft capable of delivering a full
range of precision guided and stand-off weapons.
