Has anyone identified the aircraft at Area 51 on the apron? They look like T-43's to me, wanted to see if anyone else knew as well. Thanks!

The two jets I believe you are referring to are F-16 Fighting Falcons.

I forgot the T-43 was the 737 trainer. I'd been thinking he was guessing T-38. The two 737 aircraft aren't trainers. If they're actually military, they'd be C-40, but I believe they are simply contracted. I do know they're used to ferry workes in from places like McCarran International.
Thanks for pointing out my mistake about the T-43. :) I was looking at the two small jets in the northern area.

Thanks guys, it turns out they are 737's, contracted out to shuttle workers around. Thanks again!
