    Couple parts
Click For Summary
The discussion centers on identifying two components from an image related to aircraft. The first item, referred to as a "spike," is identified as a pitot tube, which measures airspeed. The second item, described as a "long thing," is recognized as a Sidewinder missile launch rail. Additionally, it is clarified that mid-air refueling for the F-16 is conducted through a different port than the ones discussed. The conversation concludes with appreciation for the information shared.

Hello I am just curious about something. In the image above, the spike shaped thing at #1, and the long thing at #2, what are those and what are their purposes? Since I don't know what they're called I can't google them lol. My current guess is that #2 is a mount for missiles, and #1 has something to do with mid-air refueling.
