Aircraft from local and abroad continued to arrive at Zhuhai Jinwan airport on Oct. 31. The second aerobatic team to arrive was the PLAAF August 1st.
As per usual practice, the arrivals were split into two groups. The first wave was made up of three J-10s, followed by four more around ten minutes later.
A Pakistan C-130 arrived around noon alone. Departing from Mianyang, one of the JF-17s had a technical after take off and had to land. This pushed back their arrival time till late afternoon.
A Dassault Falcon 7X came shortly afterwards and a PLAAF Y-12 landed around 1400 local time.
A AW139 came in around 4pm while everyone was anticipating the arrival of three JF-17s. Those jets finally reached their destination before 5pm.
Those who stayed behind to watch the sunset were rewarded with the arrival of another Pakistan Air Force C-130.
The Saudi Hawks were scheduled to arrive that day but failed to appear.
