Female pilots to perform flyover

With the successful test flight of three female combat pilots over the sky of Tian'anmen Square on Saturday, China's first batch of 16 female pilots are ready for their debut at the National Day Parade on Oct 1.

"Concentration is very important, because tall buildings like the 230-meter China Central Television building are on our air line," Sheng Yifei, one of the three female pilots said, Beijing Youth Daily reported yesterday.

On Oct 1, they will fly their planes, passing over Tian'anmen Square at the exact time.
