Was doing launch recovery at Edwards and saw a plane taxi in front of me and thought that it was a strange looking T-38. Only when it got further down the taxiway did I notice that it was the X-29 ( the plane with the swept forward wing ). Later found out that the X-29 has the same nose as a T-38.

That's interesting, found this on Wikipedia. Apparently they took an F-5 and an F-16 and glued them together to make the X-29:

" Two X-29As were built by Grumman Aerospace Corporation from two existing Northrop F-5A Freedom Fighter airframes (63-8372 became 82-0003 and 65-10573 became 82-0049)[1] (after the proposal had been chosen over a competing one involving a General Dynamics F-16 Fighting Falcon). The X-29 design made use of the forward fuselage and nose landing gear from the F-5As with the control surface actuators and main landing gear from the F-16."
