Can you identify this aircraft? It looks almost unmanned when it's coming at you(?). I have been seeing them more frequently around my house. I live right by Mac dill AFB and they are definitely landing there. I didn't get a good shot. I was at a light and by the time I got my camera it was passing me. It was flying extremely slow.

I don't think that's unmanned (I can see the cockpit and passenger windows in the picture). It looks like a private/executive jet that the military sometimes uses to transport high ranking brass/officials. Still, the lack of markings/tail number (might just be the picture) has me somewhat suspicious.

The picture makes it look like the front windows are dark. They are actually almost white. Barely noticeable.

A private one though.

I can't tell if there is markings or not, could be too much glare.

Could just be the sun, man...and that's just one type of Bombardier.

The wings are extremely similar, as is the tail rudder.

Probably... the amount we have been seeing them is wierd though. My neighbor is retired Air force, her husband is still active at Mac dill. I'm sure they know. It's been bugging me though..lol. I see them everytime I drive home.

Naw if I wanted to act paranoid I'd post the A-10's that fly over my house on the way to the bombing range.

Every time there's a faint whistle, I'd imagine a dumb bomb heading my way.

There's the man. Any reason they would be flying non-stop around Macdill? Maybe the base rented out space to a training school?

Testing out a mechanical issue.....or testing a new instrument landing system at the airport. FAA does that from time to time. Just a guess.
