J-20 5th Gen Fighter Thread V

[Air Force Brat]

You can't blame CAC for it since they don't release the photos anyway. You have to blame the wall climbers.

No we shant blame the "glorious wall climbing snappaphotographers", without those brave lads and possibly lasses, you and I Master Siege would have long ago gone into the DTs without our J-20 fix??? I think we would be smart, to fall on the mercy of Emperor Xi, and plead the case for Master Deino to help China join the real world and work up an article for Air Combat Monthly, maybe a four part series?? really, doesn't anybody know the president??

The world economy is a mess, we did MUCH better working together as partners, respecting one anothers space and feelings. Anyway this beautiful airplane deserves the spotlight that Cheng-du has worked so hard and sacrificed so many long hours of labor to bring this beautiful airplane to the PLAAF.

Anyway Gents, congratulations on the first flight of the first LRIP bird, it is a milestone that each of us have anxiously awaited, your good faith and patience have been rewarded!

Thanks a lot, but I can't think that this is the ONLY !!! image shot of this bird during its so much important event.... esp. since this image is clearly shot from inside CAC'c facility.

No Comments-I am just unload photos from my truck

Hey what do you know, there are three sets of twins in the PLAAF! The ones who are speakers and their sibling who are listening below....

I am calling it. That's a pizza delivery truck.

I am calling it. That's a truck.

Really ?? I would say a bus, a school bus for children. That's why it is painted so nice and friendly yellow.

Or is it simply a huge Canary-bird ?


Anyway ... I need to go back to my pupils and hopefully when I'm back a nice and clear, high-resolution and full-size image is available.

And he is surely not a simple "wall-climber" !

I think he's the authorized photographer for Chengdu. All of his photos clearly have been taken from within the premises and are of the highest quality.

According to the poster, the first flight took 40 minutes and 2101 performed some low altitude passes and tight turns during the flight. Must've been showing off for the VIP guests.
