The Bayi Aerobatic Team of the Chinese People's Liberation Army Air Force (PLAAF) conducted its second flight performance with six J-10 fighter jets on Wednesday at Singapore Airshow 2026.
Between the sea and the sky, the six J-10 performance aircraft flew in a tightly packed formation, releasing trails of red, yellow and blue smoke in a low-altitude flypast. They then continued with a series of dazzling maneuvers, drawing strong admiration from international spectators.
The 10th Singapore Airshow opened on Tuesday at the Changi Exhibition Center, with the team delivering its first flight display featuring six J-10 fighter jets over the sea. The performance marked the team's first public appearance in Singapore since it transitioned to the J-10C aircraft.
The J-10 aircraft participating in this air show is an improved supersonic multirole fighter independently developed by China and serves as one of the mainstay models of the PLAAF.
Previously, the Bayi Aerobatic Team had performed overseas 12 times. In February 2020, the Chinese Air Force dispatched seven J-10 performance aircraft and two IL-76 transport aircraft to participate in the 7th Singapore Airshow. After a six-year hiatus, the PLAAF has returned to the event.
This time, the Chinese Air Force deployed the Y-20A aerial refueling aircraft to provide support, enabling the performance aircraft to arrive in Singapore in a "non-stop journey" via aerial refueling.
The Singapore Airshow 2026 spans six days.
