I am interested in the SR-71 missions over China between 60s and 70s. However the information is very limited. The Chinese never publically acknowledged any “air intrusions” by SR-71 because they had no way of shooting it down. I only heard of one SR-71 overflew ground zero when Chinese first tested their H-bomb (not A-bomb) in 1967 in northwest China. Another piece of evidence is the development of HQ-3 high-altitude SAM (a further improved HQ-2/SA-2) in the late 60s specifically for shooting down SR-71. The project was later terminated after Nixon ordered CIA to stop SR-71 missions over China in 1973-74 (a deal made by Nixon and Mao during his visit to China perhaps). Several rounds are on display at the Datangshan AF museum. Arthur may have seen them too.

Any additional information regarding to this matter is greatly appreciated.

whoever first posted this kind of “photo” at that forum must be a jerk …

OK, I take my word back, #42151 appears to be the correct number!!

Y-8 radar testbed for J-11B (Type-1474?)

New picture? prototype flying with weapons and fuel tanks …

Are you sure that’s a real FC-1, not a PSed model?

Hey Rick, time to update your web site, please!

Joking… This is F-15J Eagle

Agreed! 😀
