An interesting image of J-16's wingtip pylon: inserting a nitrogen canister used to cool the infrared seeker on the air-to-air missile.

Every time, I swear every time I see a photo of a flanker with a human being I get taken a back by how big the jet actually is…

Really? I thought, the 7th AB was relocated from Wuhu to Jiaxing AB?!
Not sure about Jiaxiang AB yet(btw occupied by the 78th in summer), but I'm pretty confident Rugao is one of the home bases of the 7th if not the only one, based on the wording of the official report, photographer‘s unit, GE image, etc.
