The Xian JH-7 (Jianjiji Hongzhaji – fighter-bomber); NATO reporting name Flounder, also known as the FBC-1 (Fighter/Bomber China-1) Flying Leopard, is a 4th generation tandem two-seat, twin-engine fighter-bomber in service with the People's Liberation Army Naval Air Force (PLANAF), and the People's Liberation Army Air Force (PLAAF).[4] The main contractors are Xi'an Aircraft Industrial Corporation (XAC) and the 603rd Aircraft Design Institute (later named the First Aircraft Institute of AVIC-I). The first JH-7s were delivered to the PLANAF in the mid-1990s for evaluation, with the improved JH-7A entering service in 2004. PERSONAL NOTE: this plane flies incredibly straight, probably straighter than all my planes including the X-29. which i actually would prefer this JH-7 over my x-29. this plane here takes off on its own which none of my planes do. theres a slight roll again, which i still dont understand how its happening. it does turn reasonably quick but not incredibly quick. same goes for the roll. its fun to fly around too as it can land at 140mph. -BlueWhiskyYT
