Many JL-9 delivered to PLAAF
又讯:1月21日中午11点左右起,中航工业贵飞又有多架份山鹰飞机陆续从机场跑道起飞,再次顺利转场交付部队用户。在连续两天的时间里,贵飞公司山鹰转场交付捷报连传,大批量向部队交付了多架份山鹰飞机,强力推进了公司新一年以试飞为龙头、狠抓飞机均衡生产的强劲势头!
Indeed that production line was to be closed down after the delivery of BAF's F 7 BGI delivery.Need some help or explanation again !
GAC released some nice of its test flight facility again on 02.Mar.2017. The business seems running very well and many new-build JL-9 and JL-9As were seen. However in the background there were also still some factory fresh-looking JJ-7As seen.

The original poster at SDF noted, that GAIG is still making new JJ-7... .
I know it is indeed the same manufactor and factory ... but I thought the JJ-7A is no longer in production since years ! Indeed strange.
Could it be that these are birds for maintenance or MLU?? Or do they specificly mention, that they are new-build ones?

These are most probably late series aircrafts after MLU ed. (I ain't betting anything on this assumption)
To admit I have the same feeling - even if the line at GAIG is different to the one at CAC - , that these are not factory fresh new birds but MLUed ... overall do we know
Do you know how many JJ-7s were built and when production ceased at GAIC? and also how many FT-7s were built
A quick Googeling delivered:
Over 200 PLA Air Force (JJ-7) built and delivered. Export deliveries to Bangladesh Air Force (eight FT-7B); Myanmar AF (six FT-7); Pakistan AF (15 FT-7P and six FT-7PG); Sri Lanka AF (one FT-7); Zimbabwe AF (two FT-7B).
What else ... Iran had a few ??!!
