The Huairen Air Base is home to the PLAAF 15th Fighter Division that operates the Chengdu J-7 fighter. The former North China Military Region was renamed the Beijing Military Region and is one of seven military regions. With the Chengdu J-7 III main role being an interceptor these aircraft were assigned to protect the capital of Beijing should any enemy aircraft make it that far. Production of the Chengdu J-7 class ended in 2013 but is still flown by many countries including China.
Designed as a Chinese produced version of the MiG-21, the J-7 was first flown in January, 1966. © Copyright 2003-2024 The Flying Mule, Inc.
