Looks like a Rafale to me, but what do I know?

I’ve seen fighters form up on jetliners before if they happen to be going the same direction. Kinda cool to see the pilots waving at the airliner passengers.

If the fighter were about to shoot you down you wouldn’t be able to see him.

If they’re in formation there’s no worries. If they were going for a shoot they be on the 6 and the passengers would never see it coming.

They could have hung back a few hundred meters and been invisible to the passengers.

They were deliberately showing the (white) flag.

The planes near Spain can be seen mainly thru the panes.

Those are just pretty airplanes. They have a subtle edge over the F-106.

The U.S. military frequently flies helicopters and other aircraft north-south over the Cascade Mt western foothills, just to the east of where I live.

Thursday night a formation of choppers and what I can only conclude was a C-130 configured for aerial refueling flew over, headed south, low and slow. The C-130 was outlined by steady, bright blue lights.

Night chopper refueling exercise?

Unless its Captain Mohammed piloting the fighter, it would make me feel safe.

When you fly to Jamaica from Miami you fly over a part of Cuba and you get a Mig off each wing all the way over. It is a little strange.

If you see them, they’re friendlies. Bad guys would have shot rockets up your keister before you could see them.
