that is a dummy Maverick missile on the wing tip. Not a smoke pod and not a Aim9

Nope, wingtip mounted sidewinder, or an electronics pod used for various things in practice air-to-air combat.  Only Sidewinders and AMRAAMs can be mounted on the wingtips.  Mavericks can only be attached to the two most inboard pylons.

Scroll down to "F-16 installation":

And the fact it looks nothing like the nose of a Maverick... Smiley

I've noticed. Mind you, at FlyPast mags forum, a thread was resurrected yesterday from 2001! The mod promptly locked it...

Anyway, we've established it isn't fake, and even forms the cover of a book. Maybe a helpful mod can lock this? Smiley

It looks like an AMRAAM on the wing tip of the plane the person who took the picture is in.

Yet another comeback...

I think we've established two things:

1) It isn't fake,

and 2) AMRAAMs have nice pointy noses, so I think we've happily concluded that's an AIM-9. Secondly, it's quite an old photo, so certainly predates AMRAAM wingtip carriage, which has been relatively recent. Smiley

Aich... I didn't know people could get so snappy about a photo (if you'll pardon the completely deliberate pun) Wink Grin

If it's real, it's a great photo!
If it's fake, it's a great fake!!

And you've also established that what looks like an ICBM is in fact a missile on the wingtip of the other aircraft. Does it actually matter what type of missile it is Questioning

More a case of people continually ignoring the answer to the original question... Wink

If it really is Danish, it's wearing the wrong colors.
If you look at the tail and notice the fin flash does not look like this (the Danish Air Force fin flash):

I don't know the one that is on there. It looks like Sweedish colors, but their roundel/ finflash looks like this:

Any one know who that plane really belongs to!?!
It seams that just as things are found to substanciate the valdity of the photo, things are found that don't make sence.

Can we please let the thread die? I think it's been brought back to life enough, if you keep it up next thing you know we'll be locked in a mall with shotguns trying to save ourselves from the Undead Threads!

Just let this thread die. The aviation experts on this site, have already established, several reasons, pertaining to why that picture was not fake. Leave it alone. It will not kill you to ignore this thread.

What have you smoked??
I'm Danish, knows the RDAF pretty well, and that IS A FRIGGIN F-16 from the Royal Danish Air Force!!!

The next one that will doubt the realness of that photo, and the next one who thinks that the F-16 is not from Denmark, are gonna get his balls dipped in marmalade, then shot at with Björns 88', and then I'm gonna finish him off with some fatal beatings!!  Angry Angry  Smiley Smiley
