I'd say considering what we've debated so far, we're accepting at least the presence of two prototypes at the same base. And even that lacks clear evidence. If there is more than two...we'd have heard from other sources. Someone must have noticed that many prototypes running around. There was speculation that one of the two was a static test prototype, which thus would most likely not leave its hangar terribly often. But a third would be more visible. Wouldn't we notice an increase in test flights or something?

Now that I think about it, didn't they say one completed anechoic chamber tests? I doubt the one doing all the flight testing would be stuck in an anechoic chamber.
