    Spotted flying over south carolina this morning:

    Doesn't seem like any of the obvious choices like the rafale, eurofighter etc. and the nose is way too long to be a viggen and the delta wingtip isn't the right shape to be a Gripen and I don't have a big poster chart of delta wing NATO fighter jets here

    We might have an answer, the Israeli Kafir?

    It's called the Kfir - based on the original Dassault Mirage but with a GE J79 engine.

    could also be atlas cheetahs, operated by Draken international

    SEmms more likely. The Cheetah was developed from the Mirage AND the Kfir.

    Draken are based in Florida and Nellis Air Firce Base. They have 12 of them.

    They Have 150 ex military aircraft!!!

    ATAC based in Newport News operate 6 Kfir's. Most of their aviation activity is in California.
