April 2012 the 4th FA/4th Reg (serials 7xx4x) was subordinated to Shijiazhuang FA as 4th Air Brigade. February 2021 the first JL-9s were noted within the Brigade. whether the JL-8 and JJ-7s are still operational is unclear. Mid 2024 J-10S were noted flying for the 4th Brigade, suggesting that JJ-7A, JL-8, and JL-9 operations had come to an end. The airfield is also known as Jinghai.

26 October 1988 the 17th Division (serials 3xx8x) reorganized into 3rd Regiment of Beijing MR Training Base (serials 6xx2x). In 2012 the Regiment got subordinated to 7th Division as 20th Reg. By 2019 the J-7II were replaced by J-7E, although it needs confirmation that these aircraft belong to the same unit. By 2022 the J-7s had stopped flying. It is expected that J-10As will arrrive after a major upgrade of the military part of the airfield.

The J-7IIs were replaced by J-7G around 2012/2013. With the arrival of the J-10 at Qihe the Regiment was renumbered 36th Regiment and the J-7Gs were reserialled (accordingly). In 2017 the 36th Regiment (serials 21x3x) turned into a Brigade with a new serial batch, although these were never shown in public.

Wudangshan is also known as Laohekou. The Guangzhou Military Region Training Base/1st, 2nd and 3rd Reg were formed on 11 June 1988 from 27th Div/79th, 80th and 81st Reg flying J-6 aircraft. July 1998 the Training Base was downgraded to one Regiment (3rd) that transferred to Wudangshan (serials 61x6x). In 2003 the Regiment (then flying with J-7IIs) got subordinated to 18th Div. as 53rd Reg using 31x9x serials initially and later 21x9x. The first 53rd Regiment was formed in January 1954, but ceased to exist in August 1986 when it was transferred into 42nd Div/125th Regiment. Due to the serial allocation this Regiment had been identified as 54th Regiment for a long time. March 2017 the Regiment got subordinated to Central TC (from Southern TC). Early 2020 the J-7IIs were replaced by J-7Es.

At Wudangshan 18th Division/53rd Regiment, the former Guangzhou MR Training Base is located using a 54th Regiment serial block.
