Google earth has things like that listed on it  ;) Over the US I've seen Hawk's, Lear's, Gulfstreams, and quite a few others. Even a flight of two A-10's on patrol!

As for on the ground: At Edwards AFB alone I've seen the F-15 ACTIVE, The F-16XL, Quite a few F-15's and F-16's, a C-17 I believe, quite a few other military Heavies (C-130's, B-52, etc).

I've seen two of the Iranian F-14's...

I've seen the Blue Angel's...

I tried to find the Thunderbird's, but they weren't at Nellis  :'(

And also not a cruise missile. Discussion here. It was determined that the object is, in reality, an RJ or large business jet.
