The J-20 SUCCESSFULLY conducts first flight!!

[CardSharp]

Yeah that was beautiful, the Beijing Olympics happened on 8/8/08. Now we've got 11/1/11.

Actually, car license plates with "lucky numbers" get sold for ridiculous amounts of money in HK.

The license plate with the number "18" was sold for more than sixteen million Hong Kong dollars. Personally I think it's a huge waste of money though.

Doesn't some company in HK pay a ridiculous amount for the phone number 888-8888 (or whatever the format is)

Congratulations China!! A Great Achievement Indeed.

Unconfirmed information: first flight test pilot Gang·Li (李&#21018

With no VIP appear in this "important" flight, to be hornest, I begin to doubt that this is the first flight. It could be the first public flight.

The bold part is hilarious, "1114: security guard shows up, we are on the tree again ."

It doesn't matter if they underestimate us, until their radar screens go black when their AWACs get knocked out, and the floor starts shaking from the bunker busters. At that time, I can imagine the american soldiers radioing, "f**x you and your fake, stolen planes!"

不错，让它们继续做梦去。

不过我们就是要取代它们，这是中华帝国的宿命。当年老祖宗也玩这一套，历史的哪个开国皇帝会在起兵造反之前说 “我要当皇帝”？ 老外和中国比计谋还差远了，以它们的肤浅的文化怎么会理解博大精深的中华文明？

J-20 Completes First Flight​

China's new fighter, the stealthy J-20 has now completed its first flight after several weeks of preparations.

Here are the initial pictures from Chinese sites:

Still now word on how long the flight at Chenghdu lasted. It looks like the landing gear remained extended throughout the flight and that it may have been a rather modest outing, but we may get more data on that later. A J-10 served as the escort.

There will be much read into the fact the event happened while U.S. Defense Secretary Robert Gates was visiting China, but the event's timing may have more to do with weather aligning properly than geopolitics, but there is still some interesting imagery to it even if more by happenstance.

Congratulations China.. First 5th Gen from Asia.. The fighter looks more beautiful than F-22 in My Opinion.

反对。
中国需要的是恢复重建自己的文明，而不是去成为什么该死的帝国。
这个世界需要多极化，不再需要美国那种霸主；中国也不需要成为霸主。

天使用圣剑杀死了魔鬼，但不应该让魔鬼的鲜血把自己污染成新的魔王。

Chinese engines.

If they can manage a fighter, as beautiful and designed to perfection like this, I dont think there would be a problem with engine.
