Yes, I have also seen this information. (We may have the same data source).
Once again, it was very interesting to dive back into the history of this very active period of aviation.
I also learned that in September 1968 during one of these unmanned missions, she was hit for the first time under the left wing by an AIM-9. The controller had managed to maintain control and bring her safely back to Eglin AFB where she was repaired.
Before being assigned to GE, in May 1958 she had broken a speed record departing from Edwards AFB. The same year she participated in AIM-9 firing exercises at China Lake NAS.
I think the nickname "Queenie" comes from one of GE's test pilots, John Meritt Fritz. On some photos, we see him posing next to the nose art, and in particular with the FG-763 called "Queenie II" which also wears a livery that would deserve to be lingered there if we had more documents.
