The Pentagon said a Chinese fighter jet made several dangerously close passes at a U.S. Navy patrol aircraft over international air space in the South China Sea on Tuesday. The Chinese Shenyang J-11B Flanker B aircraft, with a full weapons load, flew within 20-feet of the Navy P-8A Poseidon Anti-Submarine Warfare (ASW) aircraft while conducting a routine surveillance mission.
The J-11B made a threatening maneuver when it made a barrel roll over the top of the P-8A. Pentagon spokesman Rear Admiral John Kirby said the incident occurred on August 19 about 135 miles east of Hainan Island. Admiral Kirby said the Chinese fighter made three dangerously close passes near the larger Navy submarine-hunting aircraft and displayed its belly, which was fully-laden with weaponry. According to Kirby, the J-11B flew within 30 feet of the P-8A’s wingtips before concluding the encounter with a barrel roll over the top of the Navy aircraft.
“This kind of behavior not only is unprofessional, it’s unsafe and it’s certainly not in keeping with the kind of military-to-military relations that we’d like to have with China.”9

Read D’Nash D’Souza’s books on this bastard in Washington and his political allies. They explain WHY he is allowing this and WHY D’Sousa is being persecuted by Holder and Obama.

Who would have won that dog fight?
Hmmm..probably the Chinese fighter, and not the lumbering surveillance craft.
‘Unprofessional.’..Those are fightin’ words. /s
They know it’ll just cause another round of golf to occur.
The last time a Chinese fighter aircraft got that close to a P-130, the Chinese pilot, who's name was Wong Wei (not kidding...) ended up splashing his aircraft into the water and the P-130 made an emergency landing on Hainan Island.
The Chinese likely got ALOT of our secret spy intel from that incident, but they lost a pilot.

A barrel roll over the other aircraft isn’t threatening. Stupid and dangerous to be sure. Says he watched “Top Gun” one too many times. Threatening is dropping back into trail, into a firing position. Threatening is lighting them up with fire control radar. This sounds like a stunt pulled by a bored and somewhat overconfident pilot.
The biggest mistake...BY FAR...that the industrialized world has made in the last 20 years was to allow China to become an economic power.
“OK - That does it... Get me my clubs”
The last time they did this, they hit the US aircraft and Wong Wei went into the drink, spash self. Then they blamed us?!?
Was Wong Wei related to Wei Tu Lo, Ho Lee Fook, or Sum Ting Wong?
Then there is Dingy Harry and a real Wong problem
“Reid said he was having a problem “keeping my Wongs straight” after introducing someone at the luncheon. (See a video of Reid’s remarks above.)
“The Asian population is so productive. I don’t think you’re smarter than anybody else, but you’ve convinced a lot of us you are,” Reid also said at the event.”
No biggie, they did this to W too!
Just showing they have the weaponry built that Clinton gave them the plans for.
I’m sure that there were escort aircraft that were most likely
told to stand down. An f22 could have been a mile away and
no one would have known.
