J-20... The New Generation Fighter II

It's like every angle is a surprise. A different fighter from every side.

It's kind'a weird how all those buildings are the same height.

Why an unpainted J-10?

Typical apartment buildings in a master-planned community (just like all the houses in a master-planned community in the States look like) , I guess...

Whoever is in that cockpit is really lucky... Quickest way to rise through the ranks boy!

Oh well, I'm gonna sleep now (or try to). Good night my friends! Can't wait till the videos tomorrow.

It's the most abundant plane within the factory.

the more i think about it, the more i feel that the J-20 was readied much earlier ago than december 2010. the fact that it's not in yellow paint means it probably had flown in its yellow stage earlier prior to this, so in a way, the J-20 may not be just a simple prototype, but a product very close to operational status. this current paint may mean not only to "dress it up" for the show, but perhaps it's also ready for advance testing, so the project is actually much ahead than most of us had anticipated. the leak must have been intentional, expecting it to hit the public and mass media thru viral marketing. this may be a message to the 3 aircraft carriers(as some video mentioned), so PLAAF is just revealing it earlier than scheduled. sorry if this seemed farfetched, but all these exposures are no coincidence, which is definite, if the rest of my arguments are to be dismissed

Guys, according to the "live broadcast", the J-20 didn't have its wheels retracted during the maiden flight. Does it just to imply it ain't a "fiberglass model with engines in it" or something else?

The first pilot's name is 李刚.

Probably one of the better picture taken from one of the accomanying J-10s wingman.
