I just had six of these fly over my house in a western direction leaving JBLM. They look Chinese. Anyone know what these are?
Swedish. Saab 39 Gripen I think.
I thought they were J-20’s at first but, the single fin on the back say no.
Looking at your picture, that’s a single engine.
These had two with a single tail.

Probably this, then.
Yep. That’s it. I’ve seen a lot of different aircraft fly by.
This was the first time seeing these.
I’m pretty clueless about details, didn’t even notice what you were referring to about the dual engines at first. I used to be able to tell the basic differences between the aircraft that they flew over the training routes in eastern Washington, but certainly couldn’t tell you anything about the variants.
Usually, fighters heading out, it’s in the middle of the night. Hearing these in the afternoon seemed weird before even seeing them.
Not familiar with our agreements with other Countries, but why would Eurofighter jets be doing training flights in the US?
I know our military trains other Nations pilots to fly our F35's and other aircraft made in the USA, but why foreign made jets flying in the USA?
My thoughts exactly. As soon as I seen the extra wings by the fuselage, my first thought was, wtf are those doing here. No American jet have those.
USAF holds multiple Red Flag exercises each year, some exercises have other military's planes participating, RAF Eurofighter Typhoons participated in Red Flag-Nellis 24-1, they may be doing other training while in the US.
RAF had 6 Typhoons at red flag...

Make that 8...
Always need a spare or two. Damn airplanes like to break.
I have seen these a number of times flying over my house as we are under the flight path for N.A.S. Pt. Magu. First time I saw one I had to look it up as I didn't recognize it.

They belong to us tooth brush adverse beans on toast eaters.
See them all the time in North Wales, along with lots of US aircraft.
Typhoons from Euro or middle-east forces…most likely in transit…based on where you’re at.
EuroFighter
Crazy to think i was working on that back in the early 90's.
so we don't have to start learning chinese? Sum ting wong

Can anybody identify these....
Parked at Nellis, comparable in length to F16, no canards, no visible engine inlets.
So they can shit and fall back in it when they see what our A/C do.
But what do I know....last one I worked on never flew.
Mirage or Kfir.
I’ve seen them (Kfir) at Fallon.
That was my initial thought, but the Mirage and Kfir have air intakes on the sides.
Huh. Good eye! MiGs…?
They don't resemble any MIGs.
My other thought was Delta Darts, but the wing tips are not pointy...
The Google images may have been manipulated, details are much clearer on F16s parks 300yards away...
Two of the planes show not symmetrical wing roots...
