Finally, where have you been last several hours? Do not say you were sleeping. bcs we`re all desperately waiting for new pictures….:)
I was, unfortunately, sleeping.
Two separate sources confirmed today that there were 2 J-20 lined up on the runway at one time.
2 x J-10S, 1x K-8, 2x737VIPs.
and
2x J-20.
No-no, SVR and GRU from our side. KGB went to daisies in 1991.

It was fun while it lasted. At least now we know there is a second one.
This thing can’t leave the airport on flatbed trucks can it?
