PLA Air Force pilots fly virtual fighters, join real-world counterparts in training
View original source ↗Summary
Three separate PLA aviation developments appeared in state media this week: a documentary on the Y-20 transport family aired Wednesday, the PLA Navy's first cohort of female carrier-based aircraft pilots completed solo flight training, and the Navy announced it will begin recruiting carrier-based aviation candidates from junior high school graduates. Taken together, the items document the Navy's deliberate expansion of its carrier aviation pipeline — both in gender inclusion and in the age at which it begins selecting candidates — though the article provides no unit designations, training locations, or numbers for the female pilot cohort.
