HEY. That bird is loaded with weapons !!!

The F16 DC438 in the first photo.

Got two missiles - air to air on the outside wings.

On right inside - got a bomb shaped looking device. Or is that aux fuel?

HEY. That bird is loaded with weapons !!!

*NOT* LIVE WEAPONS.

AIM-120s on the wingtips (stations 1 and 9), AIM-9s on the outer wing pylons (stations 2 and 8). But they have blue bands, indicating training rounds, not live missiles which would have yellow (denoting live warhead) and brown (denoting live rocket motor) bands.

Inner wing pylons (stations 4 and 6) are carrying fuel tanks. ECM pod on the centerline (station 5 - looks to be a member of the AN/ALQ-119 family - maybe an AN/ALQ-184?) and what looks to be either a LANTIRN or LITENING targeting pod on the starboard cheek station (station 5R)

So the interesting thing is that the aircraft is loaded to LOOK like it's carrying weapons, but it really isn't. The combination of an air-to-air loadout, with an air-to-ground targeting pod AND that long AN/ALQ pod (I haven't seen the long version mounted on a Viper in years. These days they seem to carry either a short AN/ALQ-184 or the AN/ALQ-131 series, which has a rectangular body) without any bombs (admittedly, stations 3 and 7 appear empty ... which is where the bombs would go for an air to ground mission) is pretty weird.

My analysis would be that it's an "airshow" load, where the squadron hangs stuff on the bird just to make it look cool.
