Ah -- that I might be able to spot. I don't think I'd be able to
tell one kind of wing-front-thingy from the other unless both were in

Still dunno what they were that flew over me Saturday though -- don't
see many military aircraft in sunny Denton TX. Sometimes I miss
being a kid back at Ramstein or, dare I say, even Hahn, going out on
the balcony and watching the F-4s take off on afterburner in 2- and
4-ships...

They are probably just down demonstrating for the USAF F/A-18 buy.
