J-20 first flight today? Tension mounts.

Bleachers have gone up at Chengdu's No. 132 aircraft plant, red carpets have been un-rolled, and porta-potties delivered.

Given the Chengdu J-20 cat is out of the bag, thanks to avgeeks with camera phones, perhaps the official announcement comes today. Or, dare we say, a first flight? Reports say the plane is out of the hanger and warming up. High-speed taxis appear to have taken place all week.

Acording to one Chinese zodiac web site, however, today is only good for going to the temple and praying, or burials. Hmmm.
