Any idea what the Falcon's carrying under the wings?

They look like missiles.

They are threat simulation and jamming pods for electronic warfare training.

Great shots Paul. A shame about the grounding of most flights. At least you got a days worth of shots so not a complete waste heading over there.

I take it the rest of the excercise has been scrubbed?
 
You did well to get the shots you got-especially like the P-3 photos. :)
 
Good job it wasn`t a wasted journey and you managed to get home.
