Two Chinese military Ilyushin Il-76s touched down at Perth Airport on Saturday to help take part in international search efforts for missing Malaysia Airlines flight MH370 in the southern Indian Ocean.
The Il-76s flew into Perth Airport from Malaysia and soon after relocated to RAAF Base Pearce.
The two aircraft are due to join the search efforts on Sunday, alongside four RAAF AP-3C Orions, a RNZAF P-3K2 Orion and a US Navy P-8A Poseidon that are now involved in the search for the missing 777-200ER.
A Japanense navy P-3J Orion is due to arrive in Perth on Sunday, while two civilian aircraft with AMSA trained volunteer air observers onboard joined the search effort on Saturday.
