That 1979 issue was my favorite issue, ever. Doesn't it also have those supercruise concepts from Grumman in it? That's the issue I wish I still had, as I remembered drooling through it in high school. Also, all the way up through the early 80's AvWeek had all kinds of cool three view drawings of it, including of some of the Rockwell supercruise and "early" ATF design studies. I remember the isometric drawing of the Rockwell design with the blended bod/swept wings and dorsal inlets. It's probably on this site somewhere, but those were the days before every single design iteration became secret/proprietary.
