The news on the front page of today's Changzhou Evening Paper is the greatest in history!

The top headline reads Good weather for National Day parade to be ensured through artificial means, and the subtitle reads "Air Force to mobilize largest support formation in history."

From the Xinhua article:

The more equipment used, the better the effect, and the larger an area that can be controlled," said Cui Lianqing, deputy director of the Air Force Command's meteorological bureau, which is responsible for the project. "The Air Force attaches great importance to this. This 'formation' is a first for the Air Force and for the entire history of the country."

The equipment involved includes 18 specially-converted transport planes, 48 fog-dispersing ground vehicles, and a total of more than 260 support staff.

Also making history is the converted tractor in the front page photo. The coolest motor-home in history appears on the streets of Changzhou, reads the headline, and Chinese Internet users have gone even further, calling it the "coolest, most awesome motor-home in history" (史上最牛最酷的房车).

The resourceful owner added an air-conditioned living cabin to the back of the vehicle and has been driving around the city.
