The Russian Knights aerobatic team didn't fly through Zhang Tian Dong today. The reason is flying through that natural mountain arch will cause damage to the environment and the "hole" itself. I'm kinda disappointed but couldn't agree more on this.
It's fun and exciting watching a fighter aircraft roaring through the archway with speed of 750 Km/h. However, that speed will surely cause damage to Zhang Tian Dong. If they didnt success (it's so narrow that there are only few metres of free space left between both aircraft wing and the "hole"), they'll smashed the Zhang Tian Dong and make headline news for tomorrow. That's not the end of story though. If accident happens, it's a disaster to mother nature's greatest gift... that's something that's un-replaceable even the insurance company is able to pay that huge amount of $$$
Oh well, if they're flying through at low speed, it will be fine but what's the point to watch if they fly slow? These fighther aircraft babies are built solely for speed and destroy. If they can't achieve any of it, they're just a piece of expensive junk.
