I guess we're not supposed to verify where and when the photo had been taken. Only that our interest in J-20 is supposed to be piqued

Well, we can start with these questions.

1. Has the picture ever been posted before?

2. Which of the 2 cities have (frequent) blue sky days in the past weeks, Yanliang or Chengdu?

That's right and Chengdu have already proven that they love to tease us. I would imagine that they will find some issues as they bring the J-bird up to speed, and 2001 seems to be charmed, so it is indeeed intriquing and only the pilot and photographer know for sure. Brat

Couple pics of the 2011:

Older pict or picture from Yanliang???

According to eye witness accounts from CJDBY the J-20 flew again today. It pulled up at a far steeper angle than usual and made a small diameter turn shortly after take off. It landed in only 10 minutes, however.

Here's another supposed recent video. So seeing the J-10s take-off first mean they're using them as chase planes?

Am I the only one who noticed that the take-off distance/angle are a lot shorter/steeper, respectively, than what we've seen so far???

Me too. In a previous post somewhere in this thread I mentioned that the take off distance of J-20 looks shorter than that of the J-10. Further, there are many yellow skin J-10 in the video.

This seems to be a better angle for filming takeoffs and landings then being level with the ground.

Well, that's what some of the CDers' observation, too. But my own observation is that the two took about the same distance to take off. I noticed that the two took off at about the same spot, i.e., between a small and a big building in the background. I may be wrong though.

P.S. Shouldn't it be CDians intead of CDers?

Oddly the J-10S took off quicker than the J-10A. Isn't it heavier? I was using the building in the background that appears right around take-off from the ground as reference.
