Well, AFAIK, that EP-3 didn't go away. Gladly, it was not shoot, don't you think?
Not one that I could remember, unless you count that F-104 that 'intercepted' that XB-70 prototype. You seriously don't have any reasonable doubt that it could happen again? Personally, I don't think the J-8 was caught in turbulence, but I don't think it crashed on purpoose either, do you?

But were any shot down or rammed by reckless pilots ?

You guy said our pilot(BTW, Let me tell you his name is Wang Wei, not *****) lack of flying experience, it sounds ridiculous, don't you know US's EP3 is much bigger than China's J-? both in mass and volume.
AFAIK, in order to prevent the spy plane from fleeing away, our pilot ran his life risk to get spyplane to give in. He did a great job!

Summing up your BS (I don't know the exact meaning of BS so I decide to return it to you), I came to a conclusion that you (perhaps half in your country) have landed all blames on our pilot, and think he must take the entire blame of the aircraft collision. I never reject to accept sth real only if you are giving out the truth of it, but both of us don't have to last words on the acutal course of that air accident, I bet you can't, either do I.
Incident happened in controversial waters, well here comes another point - for my part that is our maritime territory and in your opinion international waters, moreover how come you assert your crew taking the best choice and our pilot just picking up a silly choice? One of my friends current in army service told me that your crew EP-3 on board took a very sly turn before being forced to land in China, I mean the EP-3 took advantage of its mass. Do you know this detail?

Damn are you guys still discussing about that EP-3E Aries incident.
The Chinese spy on the US 'as we speek' and the US are spy on the Chinese. No big deal. That P-3 collided with a Chinese jet and had no choise but to make an emergency landing in China.
The incident happened about 70 miles off the Chinese Island of Hainan in international airspace
1 & 2) My friend, if you were to be right, then you concede the EP-3 was gathering Electronic Surveillance about... the sexual life of the whales. Don't be so silly.
Originally posted by barba007My firend, International Waters are International Waters. Answer me a few questions.
1. The incident didn't occur in China's Airspace did it?
2. Were did the incident Occur?
3. How many other countries were around the spot the incident happened?
4. What were Chinese fighters doing in International Airspace?
5. Did China force the EP-3 to land in Chinese Terretory?
No arguement that you put forward will deny the facts.

4) What was an EP-3 surveillance military plane doing in International Airspace? Have the USA more right to flight than the Chinese?
5) Yeah, surely they did. It's your right when you commanded a plane to abandon your space and it did not comply. About the BS of this happening in International Water, see point 1 & 2 (the same )

No, my friend. I left that *because* if you recognize your government is not wasting money spying the whales, your plane was undoubtfully in Chinese space, so question 3 is, well, out of the question...

O.K. MakodFilu, you ATTEMPTED to answer the questions, though you conveniently left out the answer to question 3!
Exactly! Just the same that those Chinese...
In question 4 you answered What was the EP-3 doing in International Airspace? Daahh! What any other Airplane does. Fly!
If your planes are not welcome, you should fly another route, even if not optimal to your fuel consumption.
In question 5 you say in was strange that an EP-3 was in International Airspace. Were is it supposed to fly when getting from one point to an other?
Eg. When a Qantas Jet flying from Sydney to Hong Kong or South Korea in that Fact, how many countries does it fly over? Off the top of my head 5 or 6. and yes it does fly close to CHINA too.
