On that day, after the performances of guard boxing and assassination exercises, the multi-type military planes soared into the air in order to conduct low-altitude clearance, high-speed roll, release jamming bombs and other tactical training courses. From time to time, there were bursts of applause in the audience. Afterwards, the military planes that completed the performance stopped in turn on the apron, and the audience watched them "zero distance" while taking photos with the pilots.

The audience Zhang Bo said in an interview with reporters that today is the first time to watch an air show at such close range, and he was particularly shocked by the highly difficult technical movements of the military aircraft. "We have such excellent military planes and pilots to guard the blue sky of the motherland. We are very confident in our hearts, and at the same time we are proud of being a Chinese."

"The courses you see today are the content of usual training. The overall effect is not bad." Zhang Honglian, one of the pilots, the commander of the flight squadron of a brigade of the Western Theater Aviation Corps, told reporters that the training is usually closed, and today I can have a chance.

Zhang Honglian said that he was deeply impressed by the patriotism of the Tibetan people. "When I first came to Tibet, I saw that almost every citizen has a five-star red flag at home. People of all ethnic groups who go out are also very enthusiastic. I often see children saluting the military with reverent eyes. We will redouble our training to guard every inch of Tibet’s airspace.” (End)
