Pdunn's picture My guess is they are both SAABS. The one with the conards I believe is a SAAB JAS 39 Gripen:

, and the other is the SAAB 35 Draken:

Pdunn's picture Oops. Added an extra "l" on the end of the above link. It should read "htm"

kjfitz's picture Updated the info from my duplicate post. The other plane is a IAI Kfir-C1 (F-21A).

"According to the pilot, ATAC is a privately owned company, based in VA, that owns this aircraft and is leased to the U.S. military to be used in mock drills with ATAC pilots."

Anonymous's picture It is a Drakken & a Gripen. The leading edge of the wing overlaps the cannard more on the Kfir than on the Gripen.

voldude123's picture im sure its a kfir. the nose is very Mirage like, and I am 100% sure that the US Military has some sort of dissimilar combat training using a Kfir or two.

also if you look at the shadow, it resembles a kfir more than a gripen.

finally, the gripen are some of the top aircraft the swedes have to offer today, and if that was the case, why would they be selling them to us...
