Phoenix/Maverick connection
Would it make sense to mention how the AIM-4 Falcon design influenced later weapons, such as the Phoenix and Maverick? Epstein's Mother 10:01, 13 June 2006 (UTC)
One Mess of an Article
This article states: "The AIM-4F/AIM-4G Super Falcon remained in USAF and ANG service, primarily with Convair F-102 Delta Dagger and F-106 Delta Dart interceptors, until the final retirement of the F-106 in 1988." The F and G were only used on the F-106. Indeed, this article is rather oddly written - the Falcon was first and foremost a bomber destroyer, yet most of the article is devoted to its failure as a weapon against maneuverable fighter targets in a dogfight situation - basically a case of the wrong tool for the job. For a really excellent history of the missile and its operational life, see: http://www.ausairpower.net/Falcon-Evolution.html
