On 1980/07/29, Zhaoming ZHENG, an aircraft mechanic serving in the 3rd Air Division of China Air Force attempted to seize a fighter jet for some undisclosed intention. Zheng first assaulted an airfield guard and took a gun, then killed another mechanic with that gun.

Zheng abandoned the jet and later shot himself before the army could capture him.
