btw came across some other interesting info wrt this topic.

FWIW the missile in question appears to be an AIM-47A (aka GAR-1) Falcon

According to this....

Finally a nice site covering YF-12A

And a video (didn't notice what it was though 3.05MB)

I thought the B-58 stuff was particularly interesting...

Enjoy

There's the link. I'm hoping somebody here has that clip. I checked
the link mentioned in the post that goes to but it's dead. The clip
was of an AIM-47 being launched from a YF-12A. The view is from one
of the cameras on one of the nacelles and what the clip shows is the
missile being ejected from one of the bays in slow motion and they are
WAY the hell up in the sky. I use to have the clip but somewhere
along the way it got deleted.
