I photographed this airplane (3 in plain view) at Edward's AFB in California. I compared it side-by-side to a C17, from the same base, on the same scale, and the lengths are comparable. The idea of a fighter jet, (appearing) unmanned, the size of a C17 Cargo Plane was unfathomable for me. Does anyone know of it or what it is called?

  1. 1st pic looks like a B-1B Lancer

    2nd pic looks like a B-52


  2. the 1st one is definitely a b-52, and the 2nd one has to be the b-1b, i am 100% sure, here, take a look, b-1bs are supersonic Strategic bombers made in the 80s, still in service

  3. Easy one. B1B in the takeoff/landing configuration. The wings sweep for high speed.

  4. The first one is a B1B and the second is  a B-52 either a G or H model.   Can't tell from your overhead satellite picture off of google earth

  5. I,m no expert but the boeing is a b-52 and I believe the other to be a B-1 bomber
