Another one.

Interesting, this one have a one-piece windscreen unlike the red one posted just before. The first is J-7F and the one piece canopy one the J-7FS ?

Does anyone know more about these early production J-7Is ? Why do they have such a big canopy ?
These are not J-7s from the very beginning (Type 62, J-7 without suffix), because they already have two cannons and a parachute at the base of the tail. So characteristics of J-7I.
