Cessna Citation Team Adds Flight Test Airframe

The article at the link below seems innocuous, but one small item raised my eyebrow.  Is it really possible that ALL flutter testing has been completed in the first 65 hours of testing?  That's moving right along, if you ask me, but maybe I am out of touch with the latest business aviation test approaches.  Anybody know if Citation flutter is really complete, or did the reporter confuse flutter testing with ground vibration testing in support of flutter?
