Also note- they say that it's more probable to be 164 million years old, making it older than flying birds.

Dr. Meng’s team said tests produced inconsistent dates for the new specimen, ranging from as recent as 125 million years ago to as ancient as 164 million. The older date may be more probable, other scientists said, and would put the aerial life of the mammal even earlier than known bird flight.

Wouldn't that be nice, birds evolved from flying mammals? =\
