BTW I was one surprised 104 driver when my AIM9B growled nice and loud
at a C47. Coming in from the portside low it had a good look at #1's
exhaust stack. But then it was first conceived as a kamikaze-killer.

IIRR, the very first a/c shot down by an AIM-9 in test (by Wally Schirra
IIRC) was a Hellcat drone. And all those SAM-7s using uncooled seekers
drove the piston-engined O-1s and O-2s (not to mention Spads), up to much
higher altitudes in Vietnam in 1972, making their utility as FACs far
less.
