I need your help with two images

To me the jet seems to have only one tail like an f-16.

They asked for our assistance and we gave it, it's a friend of Simon's so no reason to question, i'm sure we will receive further info about them in due course.

i received this e-mail yesterday from someone over at the air force asking for permission to use my photographs in some training program they're working on over there. i have edited these e-mails for clarity.
please read attachment in regards to gaining permission to allow the 36th intelligence squadron of the us air force use of your photos in training material. if you have further questions, you may contact me via this e-mail address or the phone number below if you have any questions.

thank you for your time and help with this matter, your contributions will help the united states air force with a computer based training program.

1. in an effort to ensure our warfighters are familiar with friendly as well as foe weapon systems, the 36 is has been charged with developing threat recognition training materials to include posters, videos, web pages, etc. our products are for official department of defense (dod) use only and do not generate a profit. to date, we are the sole government source for threat recognition training materials and we maintain over 10,000 products that are utilized by 300+ agencies worldwide.

2. one of our jobs is to find as many photos as possible of worldwide weapon systems and supporting information. we’ve noticed you have taken several exceptional photos and we would like permission to utilize them on our web pages for the background for use in our computer based training program for an indefinite period of time. we realize many artists request copies of their published works, however, due to the confidential nature of our business we will be unable to provide this to you.

3. if you will allow this, please send written permission and any stipulations to 36 is/inv room 33, 34 elm street, langley afb, va 23665, attn: threat recognition branch. if you have any questions, contact my threat recognition branch chief at (xxxx) xxx-xxxx.
and here is my response:
i am deeply flattered that you have taken an interest in my photographs. when i first got your e-mail, i have to say i was quite excited about being published. however, i have given it some thought and talked with some of my confidants on the subject, and i regret to inform you that i cannot, in good conscious, allow any branch of the military to use my photographs.

my general stance of non-violence prohibits me from aiding the military in any way. the fact that i would not be able to receive a copy of the final product because of it's classification adds another layer of certainty to my decision. and finally, just last week i granted permission to an war protest rally to use some of my other pictures in their brochures and pamphlets. allowing you to use my pictures for military training would make me into a hypocrite.

Originally posted by AgentSmith... If it wasn't for the fact he didn't give permission, I would have said that it must be an illustration in reference to an article on identifying and engaging UFOs. So maybe they just went ahead and used them anyway, in which case how did they end up on the public domain?
If they are illustrations relating to engaging UFOs, then it's an admission that they take this seriously.
