my vote is for the C-5 The horizontal section of the tail looks like it's at the top of the tail to me, not at the body like the airbus has.

| The first pic could also be the C-17 which has a high tail. What I can make out of it the width of the aircraft looks out of proportion to the length for a C-5. The second one is definetly a KC-135, the boom is faintly visible. |

...I forgot, I did use a plane once, but it was a bit primitive and didn't survive the crash.

| it may have been air force one, it's big enough it looks like a large military plane. |

I've done my share of studying this thread...
I think you've captured the A380 en route!
Certainly not AF-1, as that's a 747, which that captured profile isn't.
It doesn't look like a C5 of any kind, nor a C-130.
When I saw the A380 profile, your image seemed to fit that.
My bet goes on the A380. The A380 was doing it's US tour, and I know it landed at LAX last Monday, 3/19, leaving on 3/20.
Cheers,

Fascinated with aircraft huh...can you guess which one this is (give you a hint...it's new...well relatively)?

Well, if you want a challenge then CORRECTLY identify the aircraft in the OP.
I believe that so far you've all got it wrong and I'll give you until I can get some pics posted to correctly ID it. |

Yeah I'm stumped on that one, I don't think it is the air bus though.

The correct answer is....
...The C-17 Globemaster.
 - - -  - - -  - - - 
The underside of the fuselage is super wide and the engines are long and are closer to the body than on the A-380. |

Yes, after looking through the posts I saw that you had in fact mentioned the C-17. What threw me off though, was the reference to the KC-135 with a refueling boom in the second picture. I only saw one picture with an inset.
But, yes, you did mention the C-17.

Ya, you're right. I was playing around in PS last night with the image and you could just about make out the wing-tip stabilizer (or whatever they're called) on the left wing in the photo. C-5 doesn't have those. And it's a little more "squashed" then the C-5.
Scott, that is an AWESOME shot of the 22!!! Impecable timing there! Here's my Raptor shot, I got a little too close as it was taking off. ;-)

Why are you all wondering about the aeroplane? What about the large disk shaped object effortlessly flying near it (half way to the top of the photo)???!!!
