And no trailing smoke from the engine as witnessed when the PT-1 flew. I was told that the problem was taken care of with PT-03 which has been constantly flown by Chinese and Pakistani pilots.

no the 1st pic is not JF-17. From the looks of it, it is L-15 (The new Chinese advance jet trainer). It has twin engines while FC-1/JF-17 has single engine.

And the 2nd pic is not of PT-4 !

I think that First official flight will take place next week when ACM Tanvir visit Chengdu. This flight will be far longer than the one that took place on April 29th, We should have more pictures at that time.

Yeah. They said 2nd week of may. 1st week started today. On 29th April it was 16 min flight, good to know inugural flight would be of longer duration. May be they'll put up a proper airshow along with PT-1,2 and 3.

first of all, congrats on jf17-04! a fighter born out of nessecity. i think world sanctions have had a positive affect for Pak,s industry....a bit like South Africa. does any one know if China,s production will all go to Pakistan inittally? If so, then withs Pak,s production line pumping out @ 20 per year and CAC,s @ 50 P/A, then you will be boosting your airforce in no time. (cricket fans, what has happened to Shoib Ahktar,is he injured,love watching him bowl! nearly as good as Brett Lee!;) )
