...score a "hit" on an enemy aircraft. After the fray, pilots will demonstrate some of the slicker moves required in air combat, including tail slides, inverted spins and loop-the-loops, subjecting you to more eye-popping G-forces than you ever thought possible. And just before you regain terra firma, you'll enjoy a fly-past at just over 9 m above the terminal deck, so that friends and relatives can take pictures.

The museum's mingqi extend through several short-lived kingdoms up to the Tang dynasty...
