It took off during rush hour…so figure others may have caught it.I don’t know why it stuck out as being so badass, but it did. Never saw one, yet there’s a color named after it. Had partially white wing tips and looked cool as hell. Looked like a larger private jet. ---

If it looked military, it was probably a all black F-5/T-38. They are used for Bogie trainers, and are on military flight plans, flight aware will not show them. ![http://www.militaryfactory.com/aircraft/imgs/t38.jpg](http://www.militaryfactory.com/aircraft/imgs/t38.jpg) Those are hands down one of my favorite jets. Look at the tiny little wings, its more of a rocket than a plane. ---
