The first one, is that a SAAB? The second looks like a Tornado.
 
The picture reminds me of something that happened to me about 25 years ago. At the time I was a rookie police officer and I had a Kustom KR-11 radar set up in my car. I was working stationary radar on a 4 lane highway. I had an alarm set to alert me for anyone traveling over 75 mph and had my attention turned to finishing reports. All of a sudden the alarm went off and a doppler tone went off. This tone shows you have an actual target and the faster the target, the higher pitch sound. Well I had never heard a tone as high pitched as this one. You almost had to be a dog to hear this one.
Adrenalin kicked in and I got a heck of a rush as the target speed was showing 145 mph! I glanced down the highway to locate the speeder but could only see a faraway, slow moving tractor trailer. All of a sudden a small cropduster airplane rose above the tree line at a field next to me. I laugh about it now, but at the time it startled the hell out of me. Even my old Plymouth 440 could not outrun that guy.
