Saw two fighters flying really low right around RDU yesterday around 2:20p. Any idea what kind of plane they were and why they were there? Couldn’t find anything on radar
Documentry "Rich and Shameless" episode on Peter Nygard shows a clip at the end of this aircraft being destroyed do we have any story on what hapned to the aircraft.
I checked the flight radar, and unless I filtered out military, the two planes weren't on there. Flying very slow. 05OCT24 at 1015
My brother is serving abroad at the moment and came across some old Soviet jets. There is one we can't identify though so I thought I would ask your help please.
I think it's a Eurofighter because of the large delta wing but I honestly don't know. Any help would be appreciated (:
came across this Boeing what livery is that
I have a few ideas of what they are I just want conformation. This was July 13 around 6:00 pm 2024. This was my best picture unfortunately
it's a TA-35-5 concept plane i can't find an image
The music is "Cenotaph" by Bolt Thrower
Looks similar to a B2, but much smaller and slightly different shape. I only make the B2 comparison because it’s located near the Grumman factory in Palmdale. I attached a photo of a nearby B2 on the same airfield for reference.

Passed this when driving through Milton west Virginia. I think it might be an f 86 although when I drove passed it looked a little different on the bottom. The number on the nose was "fu 890" I couldn't make out the tail number but it may have been the same. When I googled it nothing came up. Thanks for any help.
Hello! Could anyone tell me what type of plane this is? Thank you!
It looks to me like a MiG-3 some of the details are strangely different. Canopy is longer than usual and the Air intake seems to be bigger and a bit more behind.
Took this photo in Oregon (south of Portland) today, is this a UAV? Looks like Pakistan’s Nescom Burraq, but maybe there is an american drone that looks like this?
So my mom saw what she said was a hexagon shaped thing flying over our house and in straight line over the woods and eventually away. It was 5:30am so it was dark. She said the lights were red and green but they were going around the object like circling and alternating. So red going around, then green. I fly drones so I’m at least familiar with the red and green meaning the left and right of the drone but I’ve never seen something alternate.
If anyone has any idea what she could have seen that would do that it would be awesome.
We had a tornado last night here in Ohio touch down about 15 mins away. We also have the Ravenna arsenal which I believe is operated by the national guard and does frequent c130 flyovers. Trying to give anything that might help narrow down what it could be.
