Are those F-16s not carrying any air to air missiles?


No AIM-120 AMRAAM, No AIM-7 Sparrow and NO AIM-9 Sidewinders.

Why do they need drop fuel tanks if they just took off from a nearby airbase?

How will they defend Air Force One from any airborne threats without any missiles?

Are they going to do this Hollywood movie stunt if needed?
