Response to Re: Dummy Vs. Live Air-to-Air AIM9 for F16

Inert rocket motor and warhead can also be signified by blue bands. I believe that the USN prefers painting the entire body blue, while the USAF prefers blue bands. I never saw a CATM-9 with a blue body in 12 years as a 462/2W1, but we did have some load trainers that were all blue (load trainers are not flight worthy) Some CATM-9s don't have rollerons on the fins, and I've even seen CATM-9s flown with no fins at all in at least one squadron. Most units paint a number on the fins to track each missile for maintenance.
