Recently i was watching CNN and they showed a short spot of an A10 rolling
 by on the taxi way before a mission. The outer Pylon had what was most 
 certainly an air to air missle on it. I think it was a Sidewinder.  The
 missle was long and thin, where anti-armor missles are shorter and much
 thicker in relation to length.
