We are performing a survey of a sample of 17 radio jets with Chandra and HST, with the aim of finding their X-ray and optical counterparts. In this paper, we present the preliminary Chandra results for the first six sources observed and analyzed so far. In four of them an X-ray jet is clearly detected. We compare the X-ray morphologies to the radio ones, using archival radio data and discuss similarities and differences with respect to previously studied cases. Our results show that X-ray jets are no longer rare and exotic phenomena, but qualify as a rather common occurrences of the extragalactic sky. .
