What happened to all the AIM 7E and [solid state] AIM 7F Sparrows? They are Actively Guided and were the most produced radar-guided missiles in the US inventory [excepting that the AIM 7F was introduced in the mid '70s, the production of which will be affected by your timeline]. I can see all the AIM 7Ms being gone since only a few hundred were made starting in 1982, but there should be at least a few AIM 7Es left. They were the standard radar-guided missile for the Air Force.
