F-15s can carry Sparrows an AMRAAMs in any combination up to four total on the fuselage. They can also carry AMRAAMs and Sidewinders in any combination up to four on the mid wing pylons. Typical at to air loadout these days is six AMRAAMs and two Winders.

Fourship is most likely a funeral flyover with execution of a missing man pullaway. Check your local obits for a worthy recipient of said honor ...
