Default Mystery - Jet Powered Sailplane - Van Nuys Airport

Can anyone help me identify the sailplane in this photo:

http://www.abtriplec.com/images/misc...tery_plane.jpg

I found it using Google Earth and am stumped... I can't find any info on it on the 'Net and am hoping you guys can point me in the right direction...

It has an approximate 107ft wingspan and a 45ft fuselage.

I flew gliders in the UK while stationed there as a G.I. in the 1980's... I sure do miss those days...

Thanks all...

gh
