Yep！And we now know that the journey took 25 days, and the name and nature of the institute, to which this aircraft went... I guess they simply don't intend to keep it a secret after all.

One more pic near the tail.
Is it just me or does this pic make it look more like that this is a single engine plane?
Why do you say so, If anything the sting in the middle should remove all doubts that this will be a twin engined aircraft.

seems that now they're not so allergic about people getting close to the plane.

Can faintly make out the arrow shaped outline of the DSI intake.
Seems like the loading truss is painted orange after it has been placed on the truck.
Overall I think this plane when finally unveiled will look very similar to that F-50 model displayed, if not completely the same.
