Here is a website that appears to allow a range increase by putting fuel tanks on stations 3 and 7 (that feed stations 4 and 6)

We have the AGM-84 article in the F-16 Armaments section, which refers to the SLAM-ER.

Any updates welcome.

I have an image in my mind of MK81 LDGP on station 2 & 8, but a quick search in my library proved fruitless... I'm not sure of any other centreline fits though.

There was an attempt circa 1980 to fit Sky Flash to pylons attached to the main U/C doors. Shocked I know this sounds ridiculous but I know I have a photo of the installation which I'll post before I start to get any abuse Smile (Yes, I'm sure it was Sky Flash and not an AIM-7, which does lead to the question of which country requested it...!)
