looks like an md80... most airlines dont pain wing tips dark like that due to fuel heating issues. but if i recall the colorado sports district (flew charters for most of the colorado teams) had an 80 that was painted with dark wings and a light fuselage a while back.

It has 2 contrails coming from it- 2 engines, so its not a missile and it would be 'slightly' out of the test ranges in AZ, unless if the AF was going to take out the Mormons. Im going to say its a passenger McDonnell Douglas MD-80 from the silhouette.

Just noticed this. If you look at the legend in the lower left corner, you can see that it is over 100' long.

I am no rocket expert, but I think that is a little long...

Still a very cool find!

I remeber searching around on mapquest a few weeks ago and I found an airport with a plane that had just taken off. Judging by the shadow, it was probably 75 feet off the ground.
