More fuel; more burner time perhaps!

I enquired a few years ago as to why the C/L drop tank wasn't, er, 'dropped' for aero's, and was told that it was too much of a faff and as, Bob Viking alluded to, the Typhoon wouldn't even notice it was there anyway in terms of restricting the display routine. It certainly isn't anything to do with range on internal fuel as someone suggested...

After seeing the BAE Typhoon display at Farnborough four (?) years ago it seemed to me that a load of gubbins in the shape of AAMs and LGBs didn't appear to have made the aircraft blink an eye either.
