Nice scale article. A nuclear Phoenix would have been far more effective given this missile was no more accurate than a standard AIM-4 Falcon.

The AIM-4 Falcon was literally and accurately described by Col. Robin Olds as a "Piece Of $#1*" !
He forced the USAF to rapidly adapt their F-4s to use the USN Sidewinders.

Yes, there is such a thing as NORMAL, if you have to ask what is "NORMAL" , you probably aren't !
Failure may not be an OPTION, but it is ALWAYS a POSSIBILITY.
ALL systems are GO for MAYHEM, CHAOS, TURMOIL, FIASCOS, and HAVOC !
