Thanks,

This WebTrak thingy is a very neat tool. I was able to see the plane
in question:

As you can see, it turned out he didn't land on SJC, although from my
location (marked on the map) it looked right on the way to there. *I
asked because I live in the area from over 10 years and this is the
first time I see something like that - just curious.

Hello,

Today around 10:52am PDT (+/- a couple of minutes) I was in south San
Jose when I heard a very loud jet engine noise overhead. *When I
looked up I saw something that looked like a F-18 on the SJC landing
path for 30L or 30R. *It may have been a different plane - sorry, I
did not have my glasses - but it was definitely a military jet.

Did anybody notice this, and what was a military jet doing landing on
a civil airport?

I didn't see anything on the SJC flight tracker. *I watched 10:45am
to 10:55am.

FlightAware doesn't show anything military at SJC or at Moffett either.

Many military fighters are restricted to landing at fields that have
barriers (cables) for an arrested landing if needed. They'll land at
fields without barriers under special circumstances such as an airshow
but they get a waiver from their command to do so.
