Russian Knights didn't make it - 10:15 pm
Environment , Event , Military , News  -  poster 

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.

Aerobatics Show
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.

More news report on Sina.

Quote (Mosnews):
A team of Russian pilots will reportedly fly fighter jets through a narrow cave in central China in a tourist stunt that will cost people up to 840 dollars to watch, the AFP news agency reported on Wednesday.

The agency quoted a report in Chinese newspaper Hunan Daily that read that the Russian air force jets, including advanced Sukhoi Su-30s and Su-27s, would fly through the famed Tianmen Cave in central Hunan province on March 17-18.

The cave, which resembles a rock archway, is only 57 meters (188 feet) wide at its widest point and 28 meters wide at its narrowest, it said.

The cave is about 280 meters long and 130 meters high, and according to the China Daily, "is the highest water-eroded cave in the world".
