Thanks for all the replies!
It definitely not a F4 or Delta Wing Mirage or that Israeli delta wing that our Navy used for a while. I’ll definitely bring my binoculars next time in in the Elgin area

It's likely an F1. They've been flying that and just now ATAC 41 is back in the air. I suggested the F21 because I've seen them flying down there too. Check out the adsbexchange.com web site. It's great for plane lovers.

'Adversary air' fighter jets coming to Eglin AFB​

EGLIN AFB — Within the next few months, the sky above Northwest Florida and the Gulf of Mexico will be playing host to a new kind of military aircraft.
Sometime between now and January, Virginia-based Airborne Tactical Advantage Company (ATAC) will begin flying its fleet of Mirage F1 fighter aircraft against pilots training in the Air Force's F-22 and F-35 aircraft at Eglin Air Force Base.

Virginia-based ATAC on Tuesday announced its selection as the "red air" contractor. "Red air" is shorthand for contract pilots who pose as aggressors in air-to-air combat training for military pilots.

The contract, under which ATAC will fly up to 1,100 sorties — individual missions — against F-22 and F-35 pilots in training at Eglin over the next four-plus years, could be worth as much as $92 million to ATAC.
ATAC's selection as the "red air" contractor for Eglin is the third such contract it has won, including contracts at New Mexico's Holloman Air Force Base and Arizona's Luke Air Force Base.

“ATAC is excited to have been selected to provide adversary training at Eglin, Luke and Holloman AFBs, and we stand ready to serve additional future operating locations and customers as their needs evolve,” Scott Stacy, ATAC's general manager, said in a prepared statement.
More:Work continues to get second F-35 training squadron to Eglin

ATAC's upcoming work at Eglin is part of a massive Air Force effort to boost "red air" training.
ATAC was one of seven adversary air contractors awarded as part of a $6.4 billion Air Force contract announced last year to allow the companies to vie for work at as many as 22 installations. The other contractors include one Florida-based company, Lakeland's Draken International, along with New Mexico's Air USA Inc., Nevada-based companies Blue Air Training and Tactical Air Support, Pennsylvania-headquartered Coastal Defense and Arizona's Top Aces Corporation.

According to the Air Force contract announcement, the companies are expected to provide "complete contracted air support services for realistic and challenging advanced adversary air threats and close air support threats" through the latter months of 2024.

If you click on the picture it says right at the bottom

That’s not an f4 of any variant
