I'm going to take a WAG and say that this was mayhap the AIM-45 (not
-54) precursor to the Phoenix. Or perhaps it was Phoenix itself.

Are you thinking of the AIM-47 perhaps? Actually though "late
sixties/ earlly seventies" would have fit with the Phoenix. Remember
it was initially going to be used on the F-111B before it got
cancelled. There's even a picture floating around that has an F-111
with four Phoenix missiles under it's wings. It would have carried
two more in the internal bay.

Yes, that's it. -47.

Would it have? The 'cat...well, right, F111B. I stand corrected. Welp, as
I said, WAG :-)
