August 2017
Today Y-20A no. 05 was handed over to the PLAAF ... most likely as serial 11055 again assigned to the 4th Transport Division, 12th Air Regiment at Chengdu-Qionglai.

So far only two operational Y-20As were confirmed (#01/11051 & #02/11052) even if in June 2017 the PLAAF-HP showed an image with three Y-20A on the ramp and serial bird no. 05 was rolled-out (still un-numbered) at XAC on 6th May.
Photos, worth a click:

What I understood with famous Google Translate was that the pictures were taken at an Open House a few days earlier for School Kids with the Y20 in the static show (and Y7 in background)
