On pg. 86 of Pentagon Paradox there is a quote," 1983 IOC fighter that would fly Mach 4.5 with a dash speed of Mach 6." If the Reformers hate it, I like it. Anyone know more about this?

I am often amazed at what this group comes up with on otherwise unheard of projects. I was wondering if anyone on this forum has any information (drawings, additional details, McDonnell reports, etc) on any of the following proposed F-4 variants: Models 98AJ and 98AL: These models were to have...
