>>7349790It doesn't really look like a 15 or 16. Nothing like an AV-8 either. The tail section doesn't make me think 15 and intakes don't seem quite 16 either. It's really hard to say. Far more 16 like though.
Might be something foreign that got "acquired" and is being test flow. Wouldn't be the first time that's happened. But...
>>7349774When satellite fly over Area 51 they move all the secret shit into temporary runway side hangers. You can see one just west of Runway 32 and the derelict runway. There's another one midfield, and another west of Runway 14. Geo-imaging satellites all fly easy to predict flight paths, so they have more than enough time to conduct flight tests and then move shit out of site before a flyover. It's more than likely nothing secret squirrel. It's hard to really pin, but it's probably a 16 in dark grey. There is a dedicated fighting wing at Groom Lake that is really secretive. They do fly F-16s, and do get flight hours like any other air force fighter pilot. That's more than likely what it is. Even though I would love to see something neat on maps, it's just not going to happen.
