Jaguar Overwing Pylons

Fonsini.
I assume that's a wind up but just in case you are serious I will humour you. The simple answer is no. The amount of wing surface taken up by the pylon easily outweighs the lift surfaces of the AIM9L. That's quite aside from the additional weight as well of course. There was no benefit to be had.
Although standby for some bright spark to bring up the old rocket assisted take off gag.
