In the big blue circle, there's four airplane silhouettes. I recognize the F22 and I think the one all the way to the right is the P51. What're the other two? I.e., the first and third from the left, what are they?
-
I think one of them is a UAV, but I'm not sure about the other. I really don't know myself... but I'll be sure to keep my eyes open there to try and find out.

Saw this at Dayton. Man it was GREAT!!
I wish I could go to that!

I was stationed out at Edwards AFB for 6 years. Seen 3 air shows and 4 shuttle landings. Pretty crazy stuff. I recommend it for any one going. One hell of a show. It was a great base that I wish I was stationed at still. Great times. Anyone who goes, have fun.

First is the X-45 and the third is a X-15

Thank you. Third one didn't look like an F104, different tailplane configuration.

Thanks for reminding me, my photos from the airshow:

*Note: I was in a rush to get out there to beat the traffic and forgot a couple extra batteries. The result being that after the aerial performers were done I walked around taking as many pictures as I could before my batteries died. Otherwise it was a great airshow and I wish I could of taken dozens more pictures with battery-power I could of spared to waste.
Some of my favorites:
F-35 on display

A real sexy newer F-16
(http://i675.photobucket.com/albums/vv115/Babalon84/Edwards%20AFB%20Air%20Show%202009/Picture005.jpg)
Wierd looking newfangled aero-tech (the one pictured below, you'd be surprized and amazed at the wingspan of the thing)

The shuttle-hauling 747 and they even brought out and dusted off all the ol' NASA fighter aircraft they have there.

And some purty WWII stuff as well (killed the last of my batteries taking shots of the P-40 firing up and taking off for home at the end of the airshow).
