Orca said it is good.

Thanks ... but no hints if from the maiden flight or a new one? (IMO unlikely)

Orca said it is good.

Nvmd he said it is touched up. In the previous post he just said that the representation of the nose from the side profile is accurate.

Only the wing is touched up right? I wonder what is so sensitive about the wing that needs to be touched up.

Really? I don't rate this as a hint it could be faked!

By the way, does anyone know when we saw the J-20 for the second time after its maiden flight?

Posted in last day of 24, it is 17.4.2011

Base on j20`s pilotting history ,there are 3 month gap betwent the 1st and 2nd fly :11.1.2011-17.4.2011

So ,maybe months?

Who knows why J36 uses a pitot tube similar to Mig25's?

It’s a prototype. For non system critical parts you just slap on whatever you have.

Lots of aircraft have pitot tubes, it is not exclusive to Mig-25.

Of course, it is now more common for contemporary aircraft to not have a nosetip pitot.


And as latenlazy wrote, this specific airframe having a pitot tube is reflective of it being a prototypes, which is normal.
