The Bayi Aerobatic Team of the Chinese People's Liberation Army Air Force completed its final performance at the 10th Singapore Airshow on February 7, 2026, marking a triumphant conclusion to five precision displays. Six advanced J-10 fighter jets painted the skies with vibrant red, yellow, and blue smoke trails during the three-day event, drawing cheers from international aviation enthusiasts.
This year's demonstrations showcased unprecedented synchronization, with pilots maintaining formations at speeds exceeding 600 km/h. The team's performances – held from February 5-7 – emphasized China's commitment to regional peace and technological cooperation, according to official statements.
Singaporean attendees praised the display's artistic and technical merits. 'The coordination between aircraft was like watching poetry in motion,' said local engineering student Rajesh Kumar. Chinese students in the audience waved national flags during the finale, which featured a symbolic 'handshake' smoke pattern representing bilateral ties.
The airshow comes as China and Singapore celebrate 36 years of diplomatic relations, with defense cooperation remaining a key pillar of bilateral exchanges. Aviation analysts note such demonstrations help showcase the PLA's growing capabilities in peaceful applications of military technology.
