I can't help but love the lines of the Jl-9 Mountain Eagle. I think the FC-1/ JF-17 look great too. I think that they will be of great asset to the Chinese Air Forces ans Navy's. I would love to get a ride in a back seat. I believe that PAC and Chengduo are developing a 2 place version of the FC-1/JF-17. I can't wait.
