Okay, here's my try at airplanes (not helicopters or uavs) in the inventory of both PLAAF and PLAN. It is by no means complete or necessarily accurate list. I hope it will be updated with other members' help. If someone can more accurately separate some of my categories under specific numbers for specific variants of planes, and more precisely separate PLAAF from PLAN planes, please feel free to do so. * denotes the given figure must be corrected by some 20-50 units, give or take. ** denotes the same, but probably in the 5-10 units to give or take.
