Warbirds over the Beijing Skyline


Posted on Sep 22, 2009 by Kaiser Kuo | Filed under: Society, Video News

If you didn’t happen to be in downtown Beijing around 11am yesterday, you missed a preview of the mini air show planned for the Party’s party, the October 1 60th b-day celebration. Never fear, you can see the highlight reel above.

I grew up in Tucson, Arizona, near a huge U.S. Air Force base called Davis-Monthan, so the sight and sound of planes overhead is so familiar and unremarkable that I forget how rare it is to see anything of the sort in Beijing. I was surprised by the reaction of people in the office building I was in, and by the excitement of lots of Beijingers — of which you can get some sense on the video.

Can anyone identify the planes and attack helicopters from their silhouettes? Was a time I had the U.S. planes all down pretty well…
