Lieutenant Colonel Shen Yiming led the team to Dijon Air Force Base, France. Yang was one of the first 8 Taiwanese pilots to go to secret training. Pilot training in the French military ended on 1 May 1997.[4]
During the years of Ma Ying-jeou's administration, the Mirage fighter crashed in a routine training exercise in 2013. Yang was in charge of the maintenance as the political and warfare director of the 499th Tactical Fighter Wing of the Air Force.[5] He initially judged that it was a system failure.[6]
