Some very large and pristine images of carrier operations:

We are seeing more and more of the production aircraft exercising/operating aboard the Liaoning. Here are a few pictures of some:

J-15 No. 100

J-15 No. 102 (the one doing the touch and go)

J-15 no. 103
J15-103-Liaoning.jpg

J-15 no. 104

J-15 no. 106 (and 102 and two others)

One more. Not sure if this is old:

Great pic...but it is of 554, one of the prototype aircraft. I like seeing the second aircraft there in the air circling around in the pattern.

I expect more and more we will see the actual production aircraft operate off of the Liaoning, and more and more pilots will get qualified off of the carrier, and the PLAN will strive to keep them trained and qualified by rotating them through.

I expect they will be building up quite a force of trained pilots so that when the second carrier comes out, they will be in a position to quickly deploy her air wing.
