I see a lot of cranes in the back ground. Is that new plant for building aircraft or outside the airport or what?

NONONONONO!! (I'm sure you're joking, but in case anyone who doesn't understand it's a joke)

It's a scaled testbed for a next generation airliner...

Final inspection for certificate of first flight. The report said it still need another high speed taxiing with front landing gear up. I think it's soon.
