There was also a proposal to take C-5's, equipped them with batteries of missile launch tubes and fire AIM-47's (kind of an early Phoenix AAM) at airborne targets up to 100 miles away. Kind of like a really big F6D Missileer.

So, we would have had the FC-5?

Kudos for whoever came up with the video, it's really well done.
