Spotted at KSFO today, July 24

Hi all,

I noticed 2 black fighter looking aircraft on the GA/corporate parking area today at SFO. They looked like Eurofighter Typhoons or Saab Viggens from a distance through the haze??????

Anyone clue me in as to what the visitors were?

Cheers

That was my first thought but I dont think so, they looked shorter and fatter than the 38.

That's the new, "beer can" fighter jet. Certain college frat houses are collecting $/each copy produced..

Interesting pic of the Beale T-38, obviously not photographed at Beale.

Any ideas where?
