5.  This one makes me sad... is it a Hawker Hunter?  I was so excited to see one for the first time in real life last weekend.  But then I saw it crash on its way home.

10.  Looks like a B-1?

completely wrong, I dont think anyone will get the exact details of it.

it is in fact, a 1:7 scale RC model of a US Coast Guard C130J Hercules. Similar to this one (I cant post any more images here to avoid going over 500Kb)

What's really ironic is a lot of people are saying one number is a certain plane, and that certain plane does appear, just isn't that number ;D
