No missile exhaust apparently.I assume they just drop the missile, wait a second or two and then fire it up. Don't want to burn your wing off just to fire a missile.

Exactly. The missile is ejected off of its rack, drops a bit, and THEN its rocket motor lights up. Watch some films on The History Channel or The Military Channel, or some YouTube videos, and you’ll see that in action.
