Ran across this one Google Earth view of Davis-Monthan AFB, just East of the active Cargo planes. Strange shape - does anyone know what it is? Thanks in advance, Jim

Agents K and L will show up shortly with a neuralyzer.

Is that aircraft to the right of the balloon an OV-1? I think the two to its left are A-4s, and the one to the left of that maybe a second OV-1.

some closer up photos. I wouldn't be surprised if it became a movie prop or something

My first thought was something from NASA

Seams kind of small for a Super Hornet compared to the A-4 next to it.

I thought it may have been Mike Mercury's Super Car.

Looks kind of like the XQ-58A with it's wings removed.

One COULD get creative about guessing what "model" he's building...
Remember the movie Cherry 2000?

Or some sort of shuttle from the Fireball base.

How about an advanced drone? I am sure there are many projects operating now,and from the past, that are classified as top secret. I am sure this classification was given to the prototypes of our beloved WW II birds.

That fuselage definitely looks like a RADAR test mockup. I would say "or wind tunnel" but all that's done on computers now.

Let's not go there. BTW, the woman who played Cherry (Pam Gidley) was also in the Twin Peaks movie, "Fire Walk With Me." She died a couple years ago, at age 52.
