Sure looks like things have slowed down to me, and I never said they were firing people, I said it is a good thing not to be in an insane rush, or you might end up with a mess like we had with the F-35, and have to bring them back and rebuild them in a few years. And if you haven't noticed the global slowdown in all our economies, why would you expect to notice any difference between George W. and BHO. If you want an unbiased opinion, why don't you pm Jeff Head or bd popeye, I know these two gentlemen would explain it with far more eloquence and patience than I? Actually you might want to avoid criticising those whom you obviously don't understand? I don't think I have ever criticised your little country, your constant US bashing makes you look, sophisticated? worldly? wise? smart? or none of the above?
I have noticed the economic developments. I was warned, by a Dutch economic commentator, of the trouble with the US sub-prime mortgages from about 2003. And I saw that the measures taken by the BHO administration were very similar to those of the GWB administration: in favor of the financial "industry" and pretty useless for people living outside. I see the same policies practised in the UK and in Europe and there too they don't solve the problems. Look at what is happening with Greece, Spain, Italy and Ireland. And your free to criticise my country. I'm afraid today's elections will not lead to a better government.

wow, that is one of best pics for weapons bay length analysis to date. even if we assume only 2,9 meter long small bay - which is basically as short as the WVR missile itself, the main weapon bay is 4,25 meters long. But since it is probable longer, as the bay should be a bit longer than the missile itself, the main bay may be over 4,3 or even 4,4 meters long.

BTW, using 3 meter long wvr weapons bay, entire fuselage length is 19,1 meters. That is with the engine nozzles but without any overhang of those side structures around the engines and without tail overhang. And of course without test pitot tube.

Here's something from I guess a "big shrimp," pupu. He just mentions a twin-seater J-20. I don't know what it means since everytime I see one of his posts, it's a simple one sentence and it seems to get a lot of attention on the Chinese forums. Is this the guy that does cryptic poems?

Not sure if these are from the same guy but something else I heard:

(1)J-20 2001 is flying with bomb/missile racks
(2)J-20 2003 is being given a major “face-lift”
(3)J-20S in detailed design
(4)J-15S already flew
(5)J-10B in mass production

(2)J-20 2003 is being given a major “face-lift”

I wouldn't interpret what he said as a major face-lift. What was said is that there are changes with the cockpit and the internal structure. These changes aren't going to be observable from the outside.
