22clipper,
I have followed the X2 in the media. If you go back through the old press releases, they flew X2 FBW on a 333, and lately they show pictures of ground test of a brand new airframe. Don't get confused with that other thread where they talk about that swing tail thing, that was old news.
I saw a clip from aintv, with an interview from Jeffrey Pino. He said that they had all the parts collected & the fuselage built or something like that.

There is a little X2 animation, apparently from their HAI booth, but that was the only X2 picture.
