~~Dassault Rafale maybe?~~

Never mind, I just realized that this is most likely at Edwards, so it's probably an x-plane.

It's an F-15. You can tell by the landing gear and the shape of engine housing.

Up is the way to go.

Oh, duh! I was looking at it thinking the left was the front... Tongue

Yeah, this has to be the F-15 Streak Eagle.

The paint looks like the standard USAF grey you'd find a C, not E.

The Streak Eagle and F-15E Strike Eagle are very different beasts! That said, I agree, looks like a standard single seat Eagle.

This is the F-15A or C variant. I forgot to specify... The Strike Eagle has bulkier sides.

Up is the way to go.

I'm not good with military aircraft so don't ask me... Tongue

This... Is Rio.

Loud and talkative Bengal cat. He's not ours; his owner lives two houses down, but he wanders around the neighborhood getting food and talking to his human friends. He'll sometimes get into a fight if he meets another cat though... But it's rare because he's kicked out all other cats in the neighborhood. He thinks all the houses are his too...
I came up with the name "ilikerio" way back in 4th grade, and I've used it with most user accounts ever since.
My group of close friends and I have named ourselves The Rio Group. ilikerio Productions is the media branch, located here: http://www.youtube.com/user/ilikerio
