Chengfa technology (related to Chengdu Aircraft Corp)
just shot up 2.5% on Shanghai Stock exchange on last 1 hour or so or trading.
something is up.
It’s becomming increasingly obvious this aircraft has already flown before. They painted it for this high publicity event. This is no more a first flight than the Olympic Games opening ceremony was unrehearsed.
yep! 😀
he’s not the star today, no need to report on him. Just the J-20.
also since we’re at it. who is this Semi-Lobster, half lobster half man?
hey hey hey,
I am doing a info dump.
all the ceremonies etc, is part of this event.
first flight pilots lined up to shake hands with “the boss”.
8 of them 😮
speculation:
2 each in 2 twin seat J-10S and 1x K-8, that leaves 2 pilots for…j–20.

Hey, the Yahoo Tieba guy who posted this post onto Tieba.
I AM ONLY SPECULATING, no basis for this speculation.
HU JINTAO just arrived in a toyota COSTA mini-bus.
all other VIP stood up. massive flashes from cameras.
Airforce, (blue uniform, red arm badge) is taking their photos.
Now the power rangers Ground grew is taking their group photos.
apparently all the VIP guys are taking their shot with the J-20 as the back ground on the taxiway, like a tourist. 😮
The official camera guy (in the picture I posted two pages ago)
stationed at end of the runway, is walking slowly to his pre-setup video tripod.
all info translated from
Baidu’s Tieba service.
front row of VIP Stand full now.
Apparently only Xi jinping the VP (they call him the “prince regent”) was confirmed along with top military officials.
hands shaken. with pilot, pilots in cockpit, chaser on tarmac engines running.
Jeeps on the runway, guys with shot guns to clear birds.
I repeat. confirmed TWO J-20s are on the field, both lit up. 😮
As far as I can tell from the chinese internet.
No one is working in china right now. all glued to one of those forums….
incredible.
are they hot, or are they hot dog?
you can dig up some of those J-10 first flight and judge it by yourself.
probably cafeteria ladies. 😎
Exciting. I wonder how many still consider it to be a ‘mockup/photoshop’ as was d case not 2 long ago. 😉
All the best!
This is, probablly the most “OPEN” first flight of a military fighter Any where in the world.
They went through the bare minimum motion to guard the airfield!
现场广播:亲爱的军迷朋友,你们的爱国之心可以理解,但为了您的安全和国家的利益,请主动撤离,若不听现场人员指挥离场,引起的严重后果由您自己负责。
annoucement over airfield PA System:
dear military fan boys: your love for your motherland is understandable: but for your own safty and national interest, please leave on your own, if you do not listens to security in the field and leave, you have to bear all the consequences yourself.
Hu Jintao is on the VIP Stand! 😮
