Was this a publicity photo from a magazine by chance?
Been asking around, nobody really knows. It's very clearly post this equipment's service life, so more than likely a showcase image for a handbook or catalogue.
Highest-resolution version of this image I’ve found yet, courtesy of NMUSAF’s Facebook page, of all places. Still on the hunt for a good on-web source for this photo, however. Will be attaching Facebook source link for now.
There are a lot of extremely fascinating developments sprung out of AFTI, even beyond what this airframe in particular went through, but I’d love to direct anyone interested’s attention to my personal favorite facet of this program: the Voice Control System. Yes, there is a lady in my head who calls me studmuffin.
