Hornets And AMRAAM

Curious as to where F18s can carry their AMRAAM missiles.

Every now and then, Downunder, you see them carrying AMRAAMs on underwing pylons. I haven't seen AMRAAMs on the old Sparrow fueselage stations.

What about a max load? A realistic mix?

Announced yesterday, Malaysia has ordered Flankers. It has one of everthing but more importantly will be interesting to see the mini arms race this may create-Singapore, Indonesia, V'nam, Thai and New Zealand( just kidding ).

Is the RAAF AMRAAM/ASRAAM mix a good counter to the Flanker?
