Fei Junlong and Nie Haisheng, two former fighter pilots, are destined to become China's latest national heroes after they piloted the country's second manned spacecraft into orbit on Wednesday.
Fei (40), considered perhaps China's most elite pilot, hails from the southern province of Jiangsu and impressed his peers in 1992 when he successfully made an emergency landing when his jet was short of fuel during a test flight.
Fei was recruited as a trainee by China's air force while still at high school in 1982 and graduated two years later with excellent marks, it said.
