Looks like its going to be only static display of LCH 2nd prototype.
No, the one flying and doing maneouvres is the 2nd prototype itself.

Might be the case where the pics suggest they are moving it in the area and might assemble remaining parts there and it might perform on the actual days of exhibition and the pilots might be practicing on the !st prototype till then.

I really don't think so, They should have readied the helicopter by now. Anyway the risk is too huge to fly the helicopter first time that too in front of everybody, if something happens its going to be a huge embarrassment for HAL and also it will ruin the entire show.

Agree with you 100%..

Its a 2nd untested prototype..

Risk is to much when huge crowd is near by..

Btw, Whoever got that paint job idea should be suspended for a week, It ruins the looks of LCH also its not Army`s paint job..
