But sure are interesting snaps. Egyptian Air Force that is. @Frogman that appears to be Egyptian aerobatics team of K-8. You have more info on these guys? I wonder how loved K-8 is among Egyptian pilots.

It is not the best trainer in World. But still it is serving the purpose. Used basically in PAF at Fighter Conversion Unit.i think t is among the best sub-sonic trainer available in the world today
Very stable aircraft. You can trust it with the student.It is not the best trainer in World. But still it is serving the purpose. Used basically in PAF at Fighter Conversion Unit.

Yes I know its stable, but the fact is that it is Chinese technology. For Basic Flying even T 37 is obsolete, it is better than K 8. For Fighter Conversion K 8 somehow is doing a good Job.Very stable aircraft. You can trust it with the student.
K-8 should not be compared to T-37. K-8 is unfit for spin training, but as an aircraft it is certainly better then T-37, just because it is chinese it cannot be called as inferior. Even the first batch was 50% glass cockpit and was equipped with EFIS, TFE-731 a highly reliable engine. It is a very agile aircraft.Yes I know its stable, but the fact is that it is Chinese technology. For Basic Flying even T 37 is obsolete, it is better than K 8.

The engine is very powerful but airframe doesn't support the engine. So efficiency of engine is reduced. It is not more stable than T 37. Additionally the switching and circuit breakers are not in symmetry, pure Chinese way of switching.K-8 should not be compared to T-37.

may be you have more experience on K-8 then me.The engine is very powerful but airframe doesn't support the engine. So efficiency of engine is reduced. It is not more stable than T 37. Additionally the switching and circuit breakers are not in symmetry, pure Chinese way of switching.
