The Bayi (August 1) Aerobatic Team of the Chinese People's Liberation Army (PLA) Air Force returned to China on Monday after a nine-day flight show at Thailand's Don Mueang International Airport.
The flight show, carried out by a total of seven J-10 fighter jets from March 2 to 10, marked the 50th anniversary of the establishment of China-Thailand diplomatic relationship and the 88th anniversary of the founding of the Royal Thai Air Force (RTAF).

Members of the team also interacted with spectators from various countries at the performance site, signing and sending out posters of the Bayi Aerobatic Team.
"Our team will continue to go out of the country and fly to world. As always, we will display positive images of the Chinese Air Force's openness, confidence and pursuit of excellence with colorful smoke trails. We will also serve as the envoy of peace, culture, and friendship with our concrete actions," said Hu Congjin, a team member.
Established over 60 years ago, the Bayi Aerobatic Team has put up more than 700 shows for over 700 delegations across more than 170 countries and regions.
