PLAAF female pilots 5.jpgJudging by these pictures, which came out in the Chinese media, I think that the PLAAF will be even more closely scrutinised than before!

China's first female fighter pilots will wear a specially designed "anti-G" flight suit, according to the country's media. The suit took the People's Liberation Army Air Force 15 months to develop, according to the reports. I have no complaints....

well I wouldn't mind that invasion force

At least you are up front about it...

They look more like models than pilots. Has anybody actually seen them fly?

Still very very drab!! They could have introduced some colour!!

Mike, have not seen them fly. Will try to scout around for a video of it. But hey, you know, for promotional purposes, they will get the best looking girls from the lot. So it is no surprise if they focused on the pretty ones.

Yazdi, colour???? Hahahaha, what do you want mate, pink flight suits?

Yes videos please:) now we just need to see a few Russian girls;)

Femme fatale on rocket rides. Indeed, video please.

Are they gonna be riding on aircraft with nose paint decals depicting WWF-like men?

No painting on the nose, from what I can see. No video either so far.

Anyone find anything, just drop me a note.
