Surely psed !

It's one of the front-view pictures we know from the first flight psed into the scene of the end of the runway.

I agree that it is a P.S. but I think that the artist wanted a mirage effect. You can definitely tell that it is a PS since the lighting on the J-20 differs from that of the background.

[Note: Thank you to HouShanghai for the video.]



Did I just hear someone say "I'm sorry" with thick american accent at 0:11 ??

And I agree with others, it is ridiculous how close people can get to this facility and observe it. And what's stopping foreign spy from taking measurements on the J-20?

I mean, the J-20 flew so close literally just meters above the spectator's head, someone could probably just measure J-20's radar reflectance with a hand-held radar! :D Okay maybe quite a bit of exaggeration, but I am sure CIA/DIA (Defence Intelligence Agency) probably had some people on the ground with miniturized high tech radar disguise as a camera and record all the preliminary measurements.

There is a good chance that most of the test flights had already been done at Yanliang. Maybe PLAAF is just doing it for show.

Funny story about the J-20:

Just the day before the May 14th flight someone on CD posted a thread saying that the plane cannot roll. Guess what happened on the 14th.

I wonder if someone high up gave the okay for some of these high quality images coming out of not just the J-20 but others too that have been coming out. There's some of the best quality pics of the Varyag out now with the APARs installed.

Now they just have to have a photographer take great shots of the J-20 from the air. I would love to see a frontal shot in flight with gears up.

Personally I am looking forward to a top down picture.

Spy satellites have resolutions of 5 centimeters. I doubt they'd need to send people in to take photos.
