Smells like an urban legend to me, and not a very good one at that.

Might have been a drugs running incident, I thought the F16s were involved with these on a pretty regular basis.

I very much doubt that in today's climate the missiles carried would be dummies. The heat source on a light piston would be very difficult for a heat seaker to track but not impossible. Cannon solution would be a lot easier on a small aircraft.
