Mojave Airport

On Google Earth (12/3/11 pic) on the far east side right corner of the main airport tarmac, what are the two aircraft that are parked just below the Lockheed L1011? Almost look like the X-31 or miniature space shuttles.

Looks like a Saab Drakken parked in the same area.

Note the two white F-100's parked in a slot just off a taxiway to the north-northwest of the main tarmac, their exit to the taxiway blocked by a parked airliner on the taxiway. I believe these are/were Tracor F-100's? Also note the QF-4's at the BE Aerospace F-4/QF-4 conversion facility to the southeast.

Always lots of totally cool aircraft here and also some neat planes at the nearby California City Airport (see the P-40 fuselages).

Would love to see the airport some day with all the planes moved outside from the hangers.
