Original – Nanchang CJ-6

The Nanchang CJ-6 is a training aircraft developed in China in the 1950s by the Nanchang Aircraft Factory. Its first flight took place in 1958, and it entered service in 1960. It was primarily operated by the People’s Liberation Army Air Force (PLA Air Force), but also by the air forces of Albania, Tanzania, Bangladesh, and North Korea. The aircraft played a key role in training Chinese military pilots for several decades – from the middle period of the Cold War right up to modern times as a training and aerobatic machine. The CJ-6 was also exported, being delivered to other countries allied with China.
