I finally got a decent shot of a plan that flies over my house occasionally.   I know what it is, and it's pretty unique.  Anyone want to guess (should be pretty easy if you have seen one before).  As to what is on the pylons... shhhhh......

Israeli Kfir

Ding, yes.

Kfir is a Mirage III modified with canards.  The navy base near me has two of these (and two Hawker Hunters) that a contracting company owns that they use a lot for testing (electronic warfare mostly I believe).   Not sure why a Kfir is ideal for it (not a lot of delta wing planes anymore), but maybe just a fast platform.

The pylon loads are interesting.  Clearly a center mount fuel tank, and maybe another on the left pylon.  Other pylons might be secret stuff.
