So very nice of them to have sent two! I wasn't even expecting any to show up until just over a week ago. Now, just one more thing on my wish list: please put her on static display so we can all get a close-up.

I posted the youku version a while back, but it's still nice to have it on youtube since you can embed the video directly.

Check out my latest update to my J-20 Flickr Album:

this picture is awesome!

lots of great pictures and video to reward those who have waited patiently, (or not), heh, heh. Nice to see this bird "out of the nest" and attending her Jr. High Graduation dance. this is a great picture, though Jeff's low altitude, highly detailed photo is a beauty.

What I am very curious of is what are those vents at the back near the engine nozzles?

I have never seen any fighter with something like that. What's the purpose of it?

Chaff and Flare dispensers.

In two of the maneuvers, the J-20 was doing a 180 degree turnaround in about 4 secs.

Correction: One of the maneuvers, not two because during one of them, the camera was turned around.
