Alpha-Jet - I need to go to google images, I suppose.
This profile shot made the Alpha-Jet look a bit weird. Vertical Chines? Canards? Air-brakes? WTF? And that hambuger fork? Weird placement if they're pitots. Maybe a .50 cal Slingshot? Can anyone venture a guess? If needed, take another look at Mitchell Holman's original post for a larger view.

They are indeed airbrakes in your blue box. The yellow oval shows the rams that have pushed them out. I'll now look for a pic of them here.

And a better shot......... And here's one of those actual Alpha Jets in that rather strange ASAS colour scheme. From WIKI The Asas De Portugal (Wings of Portugal) is a flight demonstration team created in 1977 integrated with Esquadra 103 (103 Squadron) of the Portuguese Air Force. They are Portugal's national aerobatic flying team and fly two ex-Luftwaffe Dassault-Breguet/Dornier Alpha Jet. Their colour scheme is very dramatic and colourful and displays can often be compared to the syncro pair from the Patrouille de France.
