It's a PZL M26-01 Airwolf, a Polish trainer. Only 14 built, only 4 in the U.S.

But no one even took a stab at the white plane....

Hey, what happened to the vintage Aloha 737? I didn't see it out there the last time I went through there.

Masten Space's Xombie for the X-Prize Lunar Lander Challenge (didn't do the 2nd flight, so today didn't count. First flight was fantastic, though!)

Meanwhile, while we were waiting on Xombie, WK1 and Cheyenne chase took off.

Plus a couple of others.

At the start of this month's Plane Crazy Saturday today at Mojave, Northrop Grumman's BAC 1-11 testbed aircraft stopped in for fuel. It dropped in again in the afternoon. Crewmembers said that they're out from Baltimore for imaging tests over the China Lake range, and were using Mojave as a fueling point; they're overnighting at PMD, with a similar schedule for Sunday. The aircraft is testing some of the JSF F-35 radar and ISR systems.

Nice catch Alan.  That nose is UGLY.  Surprised it does not look like an F-35 nose like the F-22 looking one on Voodoo1.
