China's advanced J-10 fighters will be showcased in November at an air show in Beijing to mark the 60th anniversary of the founding of the People's Liberation Army air force. All the fighters have been given a new coat of paint.

The J-10 fighter's new appearance was displayed Tuesday. The aircraft sport a blue, white and red look. Blue is the main color, accounting for 50 percent of the design. This year's performance will be the first time the Ba Yi Aerobatic team will use third generation fighter planes in the air show.

An international forum on peace and development will also be held in Beijing. More than 300 senior officers will attend the forum and 20 air force leaders from around the world will address the conference.
