I think the F-16's do have them. If you look closely you see a contrail behind the lower F-16. Think because of the crop you can't see the contrails of the other F-16's.

looks indeed if there's one beginning behind the lowest F-16, but still, why is the contrail so different from the KC and the F-4's? Maybe it has something to do with efficiency or burn temp from the (newer) F-16 engine?? The F-4 and KC trails start at roughly the same distance from the a/c..
I think you found the answer yourself Polecat. My guess would be that the exhaust temperature of the newer F-16 engine is higher (probably has to do with efficiency) en thus it takes longer to cool down to the condesation point en there for the contrail appears further behind the F-16´s.
I always say a boy can learn more at an airport than at any school.
