Read the post again. I'm missing a photo. 2-engine, neglected to mention wing mounted,

Could be an Embraer C-390 but the wings look like they are low mounted and too far back. Next time it passes over will look closer.

Today In Aviation History: First Untethered Vertical Flight of the Yakovlev Yak-36​

On June 23, 1963, the Yakovlev Yak-36 completed its first untethered vertical flight, marking a major milestone in Soviet VTOL aircraft development. Designed as an experimental testbed rather than an operational fighter, the Yak-36 helped engineers master the challenges of vertical takeoff and landing technology. Its success paved the way for the Yak-38 Forger, the Soviet Navy's first and only operational VTOL combat aircraft.​
