KJ-600 carrierborne AEWC thread

[Jingle Bells]

May be my eye sight, I spotted two, one grey, one green, where is the third one?

I couldn't find it. That's why I have been asking the two of them to show me where the third one is.

In fact I'm not allowed to post these images, but I saw them. They are from Jane's and clearly show three individual green KJ-600 - two (nos. 03 & 04) on the factory section left and one (no. 03) at the CFTE section right. The grey prototype (no. 01) is not visible and maybe in a hangar.

As per what @Deino and @iantsai has pointed out, Google Earth, on Yanliang:

Nice!!!!

But this is an old image fro early October ... so two new aircraft spotted within two months.

@Jingle Bells

The third one is here in the northeast corner:


btw:
In Google Earth, we can find out there are at least 20 Y-20, 16 H-6 and 15 Y-8/Y-9/KJ-500 in this airport.

The third one may be one of the other type.

I just measured the width and length of the third plane, size of this third one is somehow bigger, so maybe it's not a KJ-600.

 

[iantsai]

I checked the size of the third KJ-600 like plane.

And it's not a KJ-600. It's the one which had been there for years.

This third one is 29m wide and 24m long. And the new KJ-600 is 24.5m wide and 17.5m long.

The third one that you mentioned is JZY-01 demostrator for KJ-600. It has been parked at that position for many years.

Yes, I made a mistake. So maybe there are two KJ-600 protype planes by now.

Waiting for the day when it would take off from the 003 carrier.

No. 3 is the original tested, not a KJ-600

@Deino said he saw them all on a image he can't post here. That's enough for me, I believe him.
