Chinese Civilians (sort of...)

Chris Thompson uploaded a couple of PLAAF 737's recently (plaaf_737s_fs9.zip / plaaf_737s_fsx.zip at AVSIM), and I couldn't find any plans, so I made my own. They mainly visit Chinese cities although there's also time for some minor hops outside the country.

They're based at Beijing Xijiao ZBBB which isn't in the default sim, so you'll have to get some addon scenery for it (China Aiports v2 by Winfried Orthmann is a good place to start: chinaairports_version_2.zip at AVSIM).

Most kind of you to post that and supply the info.

I just realised they have way more than those 3 737's flying, so I'll add the rest of the regs at a later point. There's also a couple of CRJ-700's, but I can't find out if they're exclusively for PLAAF or if they're flying a mix of commercial and military charters (since the civilian aircraft are apparently (or were) operated for the PLAAF by one of the Chinese airlines)

Cool, I wonder if Chris will paint the rest as well.

I think the two repaints he did were representative, as they were listed as Config #1 and Config #2. The CRJ7 has also been painted.

This may help? http://www.planespotters.net/Airline/PLAAF

As far as im aware the fleet is purely VIP/Military flights except for the couple that have a few added extra's!!

There are also the Ex VIP Tu-154's flying around China that are also lumpy bumpy

Hope no-one minds me jumping in on this subject?

China United Airlines (CUA) operate the following aircraft on behalf of the People's Liberation Army Air Force (PLAAF)

B-4005 CRJ-100BLR
B-4006 CRJ-200BLR
B-4007 CRJ-200BLR
B-4008 737-3T0
B-4009 737-3T0
B-4010 CRJ-200BLR
B-4011 CRJ-200BLR
B-4018 737-33A
B-4019 737-33A
B-4020 737-34N
B-4021 737-34N
B-4026 737-76D
B-4052 737-3Q8
B-4053 737-3Q8
B-4060 CRJ-700
B-4061 CRJ-700
B-4062 CRJ-700
B-4063 CRJ-700
B-4064 CRJ-700

These aircraft fly around using CUA callsigns ("LIANHANG")

Furthermore, two aircraft are operated by the PLAAF itself:
B-4080 737-85N(WL)
B-4081 737-85N(WL)
B-4187 Learjet 35
B-4188 Learjet 35

These aircraft fly around using PLAAF callsigns, often "88xxx" where xxx is the last three of the registration, when in China, but the full registration when abroad.

There's also 11 Tu-154Ms back in service (of the 16 retired in 2002) but I'm not sure what they use as callsigns.

Hope that is useful!

Chris

Thanks Chris, that pretty much matches what I had. I wonder if the fleet they operate for the PLAAF is 'segregated' from their regular fleet? Would be a nightmare if they operate civilian schedules one day and a military charter the other.

On avsim there are flightplans for the Chinese military transporters and fighters. They were made back in 2008.

The file names are pla_transport.zip and pla_fighter_bomber.zip
