Narrative:Chinese airman Qingyong WU was fatally injured in a test flight crash. He was a skillful pilot of Nanchang Q-5, and the location where the accident occurred was in agreement with the production base of Q-5. Yet, according to his daughter's account (Wu, 2023), he could also fly "2nd generation fighter," which probably referred to Chengdu J-7.
