Plane identification request (Oxford, MS)

Edit: Oxford, Mississippi, USA

Large cargo planes flying low over Oxford today. I don’t know if there are two planes or if it’s the same plane making multiple passes. Curious if anyone knows the purpose. Planes passed around 15:25 Central Time. Kind of look like military to me but the nearest Air Force base is in Columbus and it seems like an odd choice of aircraft for a flyover. (Not aware of any events in town that would warrant one) I also don’t know if Oxford’s airport is large enough to land planes that size. Not a plane guy so my assumptions might be way off. Thanks for any info and forgive my ignorance!

(If this isn’t the correct sub for this question please let me know the best sub to ask!)

My friend found this browsing Google Earth in France. Anyone know the make or why it’s there?

They are his photos of a computer screen by phone. Not sure why the colors are bleeding.

Airplane with another object flying next to it

Saw this big aircraft flying above my house today, going about the same speed as a light aircraft. Im assuming the one with wings was military since it was a dark color. But there was something next to it flying in tandem same speed, wayyy smaller. It looked like it had no wings at all and it definitely wasn't a helicopter. Any guesses?? Tried to sharpen the pic, not the best.

Good luck with this one

Another challenge for you guys, Suspect this one should be easy since it has a very distinct appearance

This flew over me in Hextable, Kent - any ideas?

Assume to do with Biggin Hill (I’ve noticed a few older aircraft heading that way today via Flight Radar). This didn’t show on Flight Radar - I assume flying too low..?

What’s this plane? Flightaware listed it as GRZL76. RCAF Kingfisher?

I assume a military flight as it took off from CYWG, flew over me along the coast of Lake Superior, turned around and went home.

Flew over low and loud, nothing on radar. Heading towards PGD. Engine on top.

Never seen something like this before here, but other seaplanes definitely exist around central Florida. I regularly see a yellow AirCam in the middle of the state, but this thing wasn’t even on FR24. Picture taken at 1653 eastern.

New plane installed at Malton sign Malton, ON

Not familiar with planes but noticed they put a new plane at the Malton sign. I don’t know either of these planes are they significant to Canadian history?

My sister took this photo - anyone got any ideas? Taken 6/20 12:06 PM around Charlotte.

What are these aircraft? (Found at Moffett AFB, probably nasa prototypes but what are they?)

I’ve deduced that one is a Rockwell sabreliner and one is a C-141B that was auctioned off and eventually moved.
