O.k. ... guys !

May I suggest to try another start ??

There seems to be some misunderstandings which got a bit out of control after a few more post but I'm sure, nothing that can be corrected by mutual understanding.


Any way ... give me a nice serial number of an operational J-10C and everything's fine ....

I was having a friendly chat with my friends and I show them the latest picture of the J10B.

But what one of them says something that surprised me. His observation level.

"It is an old plane, right." he inquired.

I says "NO! It is fresh from the oven?" What gives you the impression?

He replied: Look at the engine! It looks like an OLD engine!

Sorry tphuang, but here I need an answer ?? For me they look all more or less the same, some a bit more blueish but externally I don't think they are different.

As such I fully agree with jobjed:

How do you tell apart a refurbished AL-31FN from a brand new Series 3?

Actually it's still quite possible to tell the old ones from the newer. C1R4, and especially C2R3, look distinctly old. C1R2, C2R1 and C2R4 look kind of new, or at least newer than the rest. C1R3 seems to have been installed with different looking petals.
