Supposed crash footage of that unfortunate F-16V being reported on Chinese news media, but obviously quite blurry and dark since it was off the coast during the night at time of crash.

Hope it's true that they pick the most anti-CPC people to train as air force pilots.

You kinda need ideology to make up for the poor pay, lack of career mobility, and danger of the occupation.

Pilots tend to have to be the most loyal people as you are literally trusting them with $40-100m+ airplanes.

You don’t want there to be any risk that they might defect with such valuable assets or just refuse to fight when the time comes and make that asset combat ineffective.

It’s kinda funny that no matter how vehemently they might be anti-China, the Americans are still not going to trust a single one of them with a F35.
