		The United States blames the collision on the Chinese pilot, Wang Wei, saying that he had been flying recklessly close to U.S. surveillance flights for months, prompting official U.S. protests.
		U.S. officials also argue that under international regulations the burden was on Wang, as the intercepting pilot, to ensure there was a safe distance between his nimble, high-speed jet and the lumbering, propeller-driven EP-3E.
		The pilot, Zhao Yu, told the Xinhua News Agency that he and Wang were on a "tracking mission" southeast of Hainan when they saw the EP-3E shortly before 9 a.m.

		Wang managed to attain egress from his disabled fighter plane as it spiraled down trailing oily fl smoke, however, he has not been seen since the incident.
		Wang's wingman later told the Chinese press that he had requested permission from his superiors to shoot down the foreign devils who had been so inconsiderate as not to avoid being pranged by Wang as he played at aerial bumper cars, but that his request had been denied.
		Wang is no longer with us and that one of our aircraft landed on their territory "without permission." (Irony intended?) It is the equivalent of saying, I'm so sorry that my face has bruised your knuckles.

		It was taken with a camcorder on another one of the US' spyplanes in January and shows Wang Wei flying incredibly close to the plane, holding up and pointing to a piece of paper that had his email address scrawled on it.
		The idea is to prove that Wang Wei was a reckless pilot and thus the crash was due to his antics.
		Even though the crash and subsequent death of Wang Wei are no laughing matter, it's hard not to admire the fighter pilot's skill and derring-do in flying so close to a plane while pointing to a piece of paper.

		The Chinese pilot Wang Wei twice "buzzed" them, abruptly flying frighteningly close at a steep angle, said Osborn.
		Since the U.S. Navy plane was only flying at 180 nautical knots, Wang, in a jet built for high speeds was struggling to maintain balance at that slow speed, said Osborn.
		Sitting in the cockpit with the wind and debris whipping in from the punctures in his badly mangled aircraft, there was one thought that flashed through Osborn's mind.

	ODE TO WANG-WEI -- Fallen pilot China's Scarlet Pimpernel [Free Republic]
		We are told the US pilots had come to know Wang-Wei quite well: the Pentagon claimed to have photos of him, the story went out that he was "reckless" and he is said to have flashed his email address as a way of taunting the Americans.
		Pilots also tend to be better educated and westernized, and may not harbor some traditional Chinese inclinations.
		It was created because China wasn't satisfied with merely flying out and checking ID (interception)- instead her pilot made a mistake by flying too close and got himself killed from bad luck or slow reaction time.

		Wang Wei, the unfortunate pilot of the Chinese fighter, had run at American aircraft so often that he was known by sight and name.

		President Bush has expressed regret over the pilot's death but has ruled out anything else and has told the Chinese that the crew and plane must be returned forthwith.
