Was passing over the base over the weekend and noticed this Delta wing jet . It's on Google maps as well so I don't think it moves.

Solved- Eurojet Typhoon

Looks like a mirage.

I believe they are in a vertical position.

It's definitely a Eurofighter Typhoon.

It's probably over here for exercises where it will get destroyed and defeated by F-22's in simulated combat missions.

I work on Eglin, and where that thing is parked in that pic there's no way to get a good look at it from the road, so have never seen it, and I can't say I've seen anything like that taking off or landing either. Interesting.


ETA I see it's been answered

Canards are slightly visible. You can also make out the twin engines.

Evidently the RAF has some in their squadron. Not sure if that is a working Typhoon but I was intrigued when I saw it on our flyover.

Now that I think about it, that's where Air Force 1 was parked when Trump visited the PCB area after Michael, and all I could see was the tail.
