First, let me thank you for this series of pictures. As one who has
always had an interest in aircraft from "the other side", so to speak,
these are greatly appreciated. Seems there are lots of pix of
Soviet/Russian aircraft to be had, but not so many of Chinese.

To the point regarding this picture and CR-41, I do not believe the
aircraft pictured are L-15s (JL-15s). They appear to be a different
configuration (see CN-02 and CN-08). I wonder if instead they might
be Hongdu JL-8s. Some pix I have of the JL-8 look similar, though
there are some external antennas and bulges present that aren't on the
aircraft in the pix you posted.

Again, thanks for the posts.

You're right, of course. I'm embarrassed. A brain frolic, I'm afraid.

Thanks for the correction.
