Hi, thank you for your corrections:

I've made changes to the 1, 12, 33 Div, do you have photo evidence of other changes? for example, J-8D in 2 and 26 Div? 29 Div has Su-30MKK?

26th Division

http://www.china-military.org/units/nanjing/26div/26div.htm

Note the tips of the tails on the planes. The J-8B has the green strip on the forward edge of the tail run straight over to the top like you see with the J-8s in this picture here.

The J-8Ds do not have the greed edge running over the tail, exactly on the 26th Division HTM shown above.

29th Division MKKs as shown in Hui Tong's page.

http://mil.jschina.com.cn/huitong/gallery.htm

There are four regiments of MKKs with 19 aircraft each---3rd Division, FTTC, 29th and 18th.

6th Division is here

I do have photos of 6th Division J-11s, and J-11s in a base in the Lanzhou region.
