PLA's 'Gold Helmet' air battle contest takes off

The event gets its name because the prize awarded to the winners is a gold-plated helmet, which is seen as the top honor for fighter pilots. This year's contest will see five Gold Helmet pilots emerge from a total of 170 competitors. [Photo from weibo account of the PLA Daily]
