Besides aerial stunts, every night from Aug 24 to 26, a drone performance illuminated the sky in Changchun. Consisting of 2,022 drones and controlled by 100 operators, the light show formed various images, including landmarks in Jilin and the official symbol of the air show.
The air show also featured aerial demonstrations of new aircraft in different types of service with the PLA, such as the J-20 fighter jet and the Y-20 transport plane. Another highlight of the air show was the debut of the YY-20 large aerial refueling aircraft, the latest addition to the PLA.
