CV-18 Fujian/003 CATOBAR carrier thread

The weather in Sanya looks pretty bad these few days. The hotels nearby are apparently closed until later this month, instead of up to the 7th.

Does anyone wanna keep an eye on the bossman's plane?

I just checked the weather forecast. It's going to be cloudy or drizzly in Sanya for the next few days.

Local governor: Make the weather rockets ready, I'll make sure that day's weather is clear!

Due to the influence of the outer bands of the typhoon, Sanya may experience strong winds and waves starting on the 6th, so the 5th?

He is going to Sanya. It's essentially confirmed. Very exciting.

It is said/claimed that the ceremony has just started.

One'd have thought that's quite a pomp for bossman to fly from Beijing to Hainan Island in such, but then again they pulled B-2481 from the flightline for the VIP transport role to APEC summit anyway, might as well make one more return trip to make it worth the buck...
