Here are some of the examples which I think look closest:
P59
F-84
What if they're Russian?

I think the P59 is the better option, the 84 has the same problem to me a slender front and not a bulbous like those in the photo given. Good suggestions.

I'm sticking with Delphin L29s of the red star rebels display team. Could Google it to see if they've been performing anywhere in your area.

I believe that may be it, the T-tail definitely fits.I'm seeing T-tail? Nobody else?

With the local McGuire-Dix-Lakehurst AFB about 30-45 miles away, I wouldn't be surprised if it was just military training, as the L-29 is a military training aircraft.

That could be it too, it does have a T-tail.

May be these jets:
The Canadair CT-114 Tutor was the Royal Canadian Air Force, and later Canadian Forces, standard jet trainer, between the early 1960s and 2000. Designed and built by Canadair, it was ordered in September 1961

My first thought was CT-114s too. Take a look at the Snowbirds' schedule and see if they're performing anywhere near you this weekend.
Definitely not F-86s, P-80s (not all of which had tip tanks BTW), F-84s or anything like that; they didn't have T-tails which the planes in the picture clearly do.

Snowbirds was the first thing I thought of when I saw the picture of the three jets....
And New Jersey from Rhode Island is a few minutes by air.... well under an hour at 400, 450 mph, and if you're talking Newark, then not even a half hour!
That Russian jet bomber in post 730 reminded me of the B-58, although the B-58 was much smaller. There were quite a few more of them made, though since that M-50 is the ONLY one ever built.

Some of you may have already seen this... the video is decent and the music isn't that great, but get a load of this carrier landing at the 1:51 mark!

B-2's arrived in the EU. Not sure if these are actual photos of the arrival.
Such an awesome design
"A Russian Air force Su-34 fighter bomber was badly damaged when its brake parachute failed during landing at Buturlinovka airfield in Voronezh on Jun. 4.
The aircraft is said to have skidded off the runway and flipped over. Luckily, no one was injured."
But I scrolled past this too:
"What he quoted is a false initial story. Parachute deployed just fine, one can see them clearly in both pictures. It was pilot error. Landed too late, too quick, braked hard as a result. Then rolled off and flipped over."
And the photo of its landing:
Chute doesn't seem to be slowing the plane down in this photo.

^Reminds me of my first landing attempt in DCS with the Su25T... except the parachute never came open
Also, if you want a great collection of some low passes, look no further. http://www.vintagewings.ca/VintageN...5/Lower-than-a-Snakes-Belly-in-a-Wagon-R.aspx

Just saw 5 AH64 "Apaches" fly over my apartment in Ann Arbor, Michigan. They were flying southeast. Any ideas where they came from and where they were headed? Maybe Toledo? Don't know what for...

SU-34 looks awesome. It's got a fastback!

Odd, 20 minutes ago a formation of 5 flew over outside of Pittsburgh. Followed by a Chinook about 2 min later, and another 2 Apaches (one of them an AH-64D) a few minutes behind that. About 30-45 min before them, another group of something flew over, but I wasn't outside in time to see what it was. Depending on range and speed, it could be the same ones they're probably from the PA ANG base in Johnstown.
I was waiting for them to come back, they went over 2 weeks ago, headed northwest. Started around 10am with two groups of 3 Blackhawks, formation of 8 Apaches around 11-noon, formation of 5 Apaches around 1pm, then the lone Chinook around 3pm. There's a training range somewhere that way, seems like they usually go there about this time of year.

Pittsburgh is nearly exactly the direction they were traveling, so I'm willing to bet it was the same birds, and the time seems about right.
Did a bit of digging:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Camp_Grayling
The only logical/fastest way to get to Pittsburgh from Camp Grayling without going through Canada or interfering with DTW airport traffic passes directly over Ann Arbor, so I'm pretty sure that's exactly where they came from, especially if you said they left 2 weeks ago.

Yea, that's the same group associated with the Johnstown base, with probably a few other units from the PA ANG. Odd that the news story comes at the end of training. From the story/video it sounds like this will be the last flyover I'll get to see. There have been rumors of them leaving Johnstown and that article makes it seem like a certainty now.

Man I miss living in Fort Worth sometimes. I use to go down to Carswell and just watch whatever they were doing. Lots of C130, F/A-18, & F16 action over there, pretty fun to watch.
