The 7th Fighter Aviation Division is a unit of the Chinese People's Liberation Army Air Force. It is headquartered at Zhangjiakou Air Base in the Beijing Military Region. The unit is equipped with the Chengdu J-7 and Shenyang J-11 fighters. PLA-AF fighter divisions generally consist of about 17,000 personnel and 70-120 aircraft.

It was originally formed in September 1950 at Dongfeng, Jilin Province, as a fighter unit with the 19th and 21st Regiments.[1]

It was assigned soon after formation to the air force component of the Chinese People's Volunteers as a mixed MiG-9/MiG-15 fighter unit.[2] It did not enter combat in Korea and returned to Northern China in November 1951.[3][4]
