No, the wing is too wide. Not sure what it is, almost looks like a modern Canberra.

Yep, it's a highly modified/modernized version of the Camberra, Martin WB-57F.

It was a Canberra with the high alt recon package (longer wingspan) and upengined from the original. In short it's a mission similar to what the U2 does / did.

Great photo's, thanks for the link!

Amazing the amount of money and hardware being used in such a desolate, third-world country. I am however in favor of giving the people of Afghanistan a better future than the Taliban was providing.
