PAF to begin air show tour in china
The aerobatics performance by the famous team with French Air Force, "Patrouille de France (PAF)," was cancelled in Beijing Thursday because of bad weather. The performance was originally scheduled on Thursday afternoon for French President Jacques Chirac's state visit to China.
Kicking off French Culture Year, the aerobatics show will bring French culture and spirit to China, said a Chinese sponsor. The aerobatics team conducted warm-up training Wednesday afternoon. Every measure has been taken to ensure the performers' safety, the sponsor said. The PAF, with 10 high-performance Alpha jets, will present Chinese audiences with the latest aerobatics maneuvers and formations. The troupe will also visit Wuhan, capital of central China's Hubei Province, Zhuhai, a coastal city of south China's Guangdong Province, and Hong Kong. French President Jacques Chirac and Chinese President Hu Jintaowill watch the opening of the French Culture Year in China during the former's visit to China from Oct. 8 to 12. |
