I may very well be wrong but to me, this does not look like an AIM-9P but a R-Darter being fired from a Mirage... What you guys think?

I apologize, it can't be R-Darter since the aircraft in the picture is F-7P not Mirage and Grifo-7 just does not have range to fire a BVR AAM such as R-Darter. I got confused due to the white color of the seeker and darker fins; it could be an AIM-9L.

An easier way to tell is that the aircraft flying is a F-7P and not an F-7PG (the wing is a double-cranked delta, which is not the case in the picture). The F-7Ps are only mated to AIM-9Ps and PL series of AAMs. Only the F-7PGs are mated to AIM-9Ls.

hence it looks like an AIM-9P to me.

I HAVE SEEN F-7P CARRYING AIM-9L &this could be an aim-9p but aim-9L are also mated to f-7p!:pakistan:

My Father fired first AIM-9L sidewinder from an F-7P and also he was awarded a trophy for that he was the first pilot to fire it !!!:victory::yahoo::pakistan:this could be an aim-9p but aim-9L are also mated to f-7p!

SH, great point. I suspect that the integration work went beyond the PGs because the PGs were the first non-Western platform to have the AIM-9L missile integrated.

You Guys need to gain some muscle. For skinny guys the G-force will knock them out very quickly.

Another troll???

by the way, height has more of a bearing on how one responds to G-forces. (Taller height is disadvantageous)

g-tolerance can be trainable, and our pilots are very much fit for the job. Past performance (war and peacetime) confirms this. ;)
