Chinese Fighter Jets

Another interesting event today was that I kept hearing jets passing overhead all afternoon. When I finally spotted some in the sky, I realized that these were Chinese fighter jets. I think the jets I saw were Fantan Q-5/A-5 fighter planes, but I can’t be sure. The Chinese have several different fighter aircraft in their arsenal, with the Q-5/A-5 being the most common behind the Jian-7/MiG-21 and the Jian-6/MiG-19. You can read about China’s air force at this link and about the USA’s air force at this link. When I was younger I was really interested in fighter jets after seeing the movie Top Gun. So, perhaps some of you out there were be interested in reading about these jets as well.
