    Definitly agree...The aircraft appears to be a civilian-contract Learjet 35A. The right underwing pod is a Marquard MTR-101 cable winch deploying a towed target. A very interesting photo, thanks for sharing!

    Based on the tail saying "N59DM", it's easy to search for. The first Google hit returns this: flightaware.com/resources/registration/N59DM Here's a more recent photo, which I guess could be the same aircraft: flightaware.com/photos/view/251181-a6733c6fa2be5624ce9ff0...
