PLAAF pilots sit around in a circle and read from Chairman Mao's Little Red Book in front of a Shenyang J-6 with the following text written on its nose: "Be determined and not afraid of sacrifice: overcome all difficulties and strive for victory. -Mao Zedong"
A Shenyang J-6 covered in quotes from Chairman Mao's Little Red Book. The quote on the starboard wing fence reads: "All reactionaries are paper tigers."

TIL during the Cultural Revolution, the #PLAAF started a trend of painting military slogans and quotes from Chairman Mao's Little Red Book on their aircraft as a show of patriotism.

Here’s one more. This is a black-and-white photo from below of a Soviet MiG-19PM carrying four guided ‘beam-riding’ RS-2U air-to-air missiles. Judging from the darkness of the sky above this was probably taken while flying near its service ceiling of 17,500 m.

An F-6 of Pakistani Squadron 25 parked on the apron of Rafiqui Airbase, Punjab, Pakistan on 14 Feb 1991. A pilot wearing a white helmet monitors cockpit interments during startup. The canopy of the cockpit is slid back open. A member of the ground crew in a green uniform stands lazily beside an external power unit parked beside the nose of the aircraft.
Since I’m currently trialling the MiG-19P in #DCS I decided to look up some nice pics of the MiG-19 and Shenyang J-6/F-6.
I have to say these two are some of the coolest of the plane in service I’ve come across. Really showcases what the MiG is all about.
