Couple different possibilities. First, it was a typo and should have been F-19. As you are probably remember, lots of aviation enthusiasts believed F-19 was the designation of the then rumored stealth fighter. One of the model companies actually released an F-19 model kit, and Tom Clancy featured it in one of his early books. There are some who still believe there was an F-19 build/flown.

Second possibility was the rumored F-111 replacement. It was much discussed in the trade journals of the day, including AW&ST, but nothing ever came of it.
