By observing the sun's movement across the sky, ancient Chinese divided the year into the following 24 sections known as solar terms.

China's "Twenty-Four Solar Terms" were included on the Representative List of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity by the UN Educational, Scientific, and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) on November 30, during the 11th session of the UNESCO Intergovernmental Committee for the Safeguarding of the Intangible Cultural Heritage (ICH) in the Ethiopian capital Addis Ababa.

I would like to know how much he really knows or if it is only based on the reports that a first flight will occur before year's end ... which is de facto within the next two weeks + a few days !

Not sure if these guys at SAC would care about Christmas ?? I don't think so ....

December is usually when activity quickens since the employees & engineers want to finish their break before Chinese New Years.

Any guess if V2 will be painted - or if it is already - prior to the maiden flight ? Or will it fly naked !?

Any idea how much time it takes to paint? Coz some source rumoured it to be naked until Nov 3...didnt know anything further

Well, the J-20 route may give us an idea how we will be seeing the V2 like factory paint scheme.

Yes and no ... if V2 is comparable to the J-20 revised '201x' prototypes, then it is likely that it is painted too ...
