It has the look of a T38 Talon about it. I'm sure Israeli F15E and F35B pilots are sheeting themselves...with laughter.

I like that chap's hat. Did a pizza land on it ?

More like one of the two-seat F-5 variants. The T-38 doesn't have the wing root extension that you can see in the photo.

Had three of these come into Kotoka last year, they have a very distinctive sound. Someone I know that works at the airport told me they were on their way to Nigeria. Supporting the government against Boko Haram?

Have to agree with you about the sound, very unusual
I was sat inside when the first osprey thundered over the house. As I heard it in the distance I thought it was a Hercules but the sound changed and I wondered if it had a Hawk escort. I missed the first osprey but caught the second and the sound and light show was amazing

I thought that was a phenomenon caused by sand particles in the air being struck by the rotors?

The light at the tips of the osprey rotors was definitely green. I couldn't work out if there were lights at the end of the rotors or if the tips were painted green and were catching the light from the multiple light sources attached to the fuselage. Like close encounters lol
Never seen anything like it at night and being down range to Spadadem lots of stuff flies over.

Anybody know what plane this is? I have a suspicion I know the country of origin and roughly which part of the world it was taken, but I could be mistaken, and I have no idea which plane it is.

I thought it was at first but I'm not sure now! The framework near the left-hand engine looks like it might be from a glazed front nose. Tupolev, or Japanese ?
