I found these on Google Earth at Marine Corps Air Station Miramar. One has canards, it appears. Eurofighter maybe? The othe one looks Saab-ish to me. Or maybe both are Saabs...Draken and Viggen? _________________ "All facts go to clearly prove that Shades is a thrice-cursed traitor & mentally deranged person steeped in inveterate enmity toward mankind"

Saab Draken and Grippen by the looks of it, deducting this from the wing shape more than anyhting else as it's a lil blurry fled Last edited by Uhu_Fledermaus on Wed Oct 24, 2007 3:55 pm; edited 1 time in total

Looks like a Viggen on the top and maybe a Kfir on the bottom? _________________ 'Aut Pugna aut Morere'

I think the top one looks like a J-35 Draken not a Viggen (I think the Viggen has lesser sweep on inboard section greater sweep on outboard, Draken has very large sweep inboard, lessor sweep outboard. The lower ones appears to be a Kfir (did they get the U.S. Designation F-21 when leased for DACT aggressors?) _________________ Bob Smart (bsmart@xecu.net)
