I have a question for our veteran pilots, or Viper ground crew. In training missions, I see pictures with Vipers carrying inert missiles or bombs. Is this in order to replicate the flying behavior of the plane in real missions (like to get accustomed with the performances of the plane with real loadout, instead with the plane clean)?

In short, yes...this is what they are used for. It is also so they can constantly train on how to use these weapons so when it comes time to drop live ammo on the enemy, there is no questioning themselves. They train so much it is second nature when it comes down to going to war.
