Dassault Rafale maybe?

Never mind, I just realized that this is most likely at Edwards, so it's probably an x-plane.

It's an F-15. You can tell by the landing gear and the shape of engine housing.

Oh, duh! I was looking at it thinking the left was the front...  :P

Yeah, this has to be the F-15 Streak Eagle.

Yeah, this has to be the F-15 Streak Eagle.

The paint looks like the standard USAF grey you'd find a C, not E.



The Streak Eagle and F-15E Strike Eagle are very different beasts! That said, I agree, looks like a standard single seat Eagle. :)

This is the F-15A or C variant. I forgot to specify... The Strike Eagle has bulkier sides.
