The third crash of Chinese air force planes occurred in this month.

According to June 22nd issue of Ming-bao in Hong Kong, around noon, June 21st, an Chinese air force plane crashed at Jin-jiang, Quan-zhou City, Fujian Province, killing its pilot.

The crash follows the crash of an KJ-2000 AWACS developed by China on June 3rd at Guang-de County, Anhui Province, killing 40 on board including engineers, and another of Jian-7E fighter plane on June 12th in Fuzhou City, Fujian Province.

Considering the recent crashes of the air force planes (all) occurred in Nanjing Military District, which is confronting Taiwan, this reflects that the training volume of air force planes in this area has gone up sharply, according to some observers.
