Hello everyone, I would like to point out that you should look up the registration of an aircraft if it is visible to determine which aircraft type you are looking at. If you are a still unsure what type it is we can help you out.

I apologize for the horrible picture. I saw this flying into Norfolk, VA a bit ago. I'm familiar with the (former) massive AN-225 so I was trying to figure out what type of plane this twin jet was but I can't find any info easily on Wikipedia. Does anyone have any insight?

Srry for the bad camera quality, I have a VL68 pro, I added brightness and contrast to make it slightly pop out. Was flying way high up and I saw a arrowhead shaped jet with two contrails from wingtips heading east

Tail and tanks don't seem to match anything, possibly a home modified plane? Leaning into the Soviet theme, gear doesn't seem to retract either.

So I was working today when right above me went along this plane. Now I’m unsure if this is a military craft or not. If it is then my guess with my limited knowledge would be the C-5 Galaxy or the C-17 Globemaster. (I did use AI to remove some cloud cover for the 1st pic)

It looks very big and military. I live near military bases in the PNW. Any chance anyone can identify?

Hello I was wondering if anyone would be able to help me figure out what plane this was?
I was driving in Kitchener/Waterloo, Ontario, Canada
It was distinctly tan and was notably kind of boxier than most planes and I figured it was a military plane.

No flight trackers have a plane matching that description and while parts of my description may be iffy, it was 100% tan in colour and didn't seem like a small plane.

Thank you!

UPDATE: It seems like it was the CL-415, it being foggy out was likely what made it look a solid tan rather than yellow
