Impressive! A Y-20 transport aircraft flew over the majestic Giza Pyramids in Egypt
In Cairo, the capital of Egypt, the Giza Pyramids stand grand and spectacular. The colossal Sphinx statue beside the pyramids gazes eastward as it watches the sun rise slowly from the banks of the Nile River.
At noon local time on August 28th, a Y-20 transport aircraft and six J-10 fighter jets from China's Eight One Aerobatic Team participated in formation flying over the Pyramids at an air show in Egypt. They left behind six colored smoke trails representing both Chinese and Egyptian national flag colors.
Subsequently, Six J-10 fighter jets from China's Eight One Aerobatic Team formed a large arrow formation to leave another smoke trail while flying over the Pyramids again. Following this display, a solo flyover was performed by Y-20. In response to these aerial displays, spectators within Giza Pyramid area continuously waved their hands in acknowledgment and eagerly took photos to commemorate this momentous occasion where historical culture met modern technology with such splendor in this new era.
"This is a fusion of civilizations; it bears witness to peace and signifies an elevation of friendship!" said Li Bin, captain of China's Eight One Aerobatic Team upon disembarking after returning to base following their flight. "The Pyramids symbolize ancient Egyptian civilization while 'Kunpeng' Y-20 and 'Fierce Dragon' J-10 represent symbols of good fortune within traditional Chinese culture. Today marks a historic moment where China's Air Force Y-20 and J-10 aircraft were framed alongside these iconic structures spanning thousands of miles - forging ties that transcend time and space capturing beautiful moments."
"Kunpeng spreads its wings soaring across vast distances," explained Pang Rongqi, pilot for Y-20. He mentioned that this particular Y-20 had previously flown to Tonga for disaster relief missions along with participating more than ten times in international humanitarian aid operations including repatriating fallen heroes' remains back home from South Korea among other significant tasks covering multiple continents.
