You HAD to spoil my joy?
LOL!
Nah!, he's just looking for pretty sharp pictures for his "cover-girl" spread on Air Combat Monthly, that's the difference from the professional, and those of us who just like to see pretty airplane pictures. It is a very sharp angle on that girl although the gear is still down, it does show all of the air-foils at once, both canard, large deltas, vents and ruddervators, and that alone make it a lovely cg, and those blue burners do add the KOOL factor?

Me, I just miss those KODACHROME 64 slides, now that was the film and process of the real PRO? I once blew a 35mm up to 20 X 30 poster and still had that sweet detail, sharp.

Yes it does, and both J-20 and PAK-FA have that kind-of exotic look, that our poor little ThunderHogge II doesn't, but they each are beautiful and exotic in their own way, and all are very pretty airplanes!
For those of you who may know or have a hunch? will we see 2016, 2017, 2018 in short succession as a result of small batch production? I'm suggesting that we will, but it seems almost to much to hope for. We could see four and bring our test fleet of prototypes and LRIP aircraft up to ten???

To admit I'm a bit surprised - maybe even worried - why we haven't seen any new bird so far. It's now already half a year gone in 2015 .... so if they again want to have 4 J-20's flying this year too, they have to hurry up a bit.

Just a hint: between Monday - Friday (6.-10. July) I'm again out .... ;)

I think a little bit of a slowdown is expected at this stage as they await the test results to see if any changes or amendments need to made.

If they keep pumping them out none stop, they could potentially need to re-manufacture all those birds later if testing reveals anything that needs changing.
