Four J-10 fighters and six J-7 fighters from the air force's aerial demonstration team took part in the 21-minute show, staged in the Shahe airport in the northern suburbs of Beijing Sunday morning.
The demonstration also included a skydiving of the air force's paratroopers, who unfolded China's national flag and the PLA flag while in the air.

But the demonstration was cancelled for bad weather conditions that day and was postponed until Nov. 13, when fog and snow again forced the show to reschedule.
Another round of the aerial demonstration would be held at 3 p.m. Sunday at the Shahe airport, according to sources with the PLA air force.
