why is this plane so small??? or does it just look like it is smal because the plane above is amazingly big?? Or is this no plane??

anyway this airport is my favourit airport. you see a F117 (stealth) a B2 (stealth too) and many of the newest Figthers (F22)

But the crazy small plane is cool. maybe it is a drone.

I think that is the F-5 SSBD.

The SSBE (Shaped Sonic Boom Experiment) was formerly known as the Shaped Sonic Boom Demonstration, or SSBD, and is part of DARPA's Quiet Supersonic Platform (QSP) program. On August 27, 2003, a Northrop Grumman - modified U.S. Navy F-5E aircraft demonstrated a method to reduce the intensity of sonic booms. NASA's F-15B research testbed jet from Dryden flew in the supersonic shockwave of the F-5E in support of the test.
