either that or it's a prehistoric bird. . . :D No, zorares is probably right. I wouldn't know one way or the other, but it's an excellent capture!

Closest thing I know of is the F-117 Nighthawk. I grew up around military planes and this isn't one of the "normal" Air Force ones,I know that much!

Great shot with the clouded background always makes it more interesting! Careful they don't come after you for snapping it, thinking you're a terrorist :D

Well I know a few guys in the Navy and Air Force and they all agree that it is definately not a B-1 bomber. Not sure if its an F-16 or not. Thanks for all the comments they are always apprieciated.

Here's a USAF photo of the B-1B that might help you http://www.af.mil/media/photodb/web/web_031028-F-0000S-001.jpg I found this by googling images. Most of the photos have the wings swept forward, because they're taken from the ground.

nannadi, your buddies need their eyes checked. That IS a B-1! If you look closely, you can see the pivot points of the wings, as well as the "4" engines. To support my claim, I offer THIS image on the web: http://www.combat-fighters.com/images/lancer.jpg IDENTICAL profile to the pic above. Col S.

Probably a B1, but maybe an F-111?
