	Boeing: News Feature - F-4 Phantoms Phabulous 40th
		A "Wild Weasel" is an aircraft that has been modified to identify, locate and physically suppress or destroy ground-based enemy air defense systems.
		The original Wild Weasels were F-100F aircraft, which were developed to combat the increasing success of the anti-aircraft defense system of North Vietnam.
		By 1975, the F-4G Phantom became the Wild Weasel.

	Military History Online - The Wild Weasels in Vietnam
		In July 1966, the original Wild Weasels in the F-100F flew their last missions in Vietnam, as it had been decided that the Super Sabre was to be phased out of Weasel operations in favor of the faster, and more durable F-105 Thunderchief.
		The Weasels showed their bravery and courage time and again, and although it is hard to put an exact number on it, it is safe to say that the Weasels saved countless lives in the performance of their duties.
		Wild Weasel missions were among the most perilous of the war, and Weasel losses were high.

	Gear Update: The X-45 UCAV
		The Wild Weasel launches missiles that home in on the defense system's electromagnetic energy emissions -- in other words, if an anti-aircraft radar system is turned on for more than a few seconds, the Wild Weasel can use the radar's own signal to find and destroy it.
		Welcome the new Weasel: the X-45 UCAV (Unmanned Combat Air Vehicle), a remotely operated stealthy aircraft that relies on its small size, infinitesimal radar cross section, and non-pilot limited maneuverability to approach, identify, and attack enemy air defenses with precision munitions.
		The Weasels may skimp on size, but they're efficient when it comes to the engine: The X-45A demonstrator is powered by a single Honeywell F124-GA-100 6,300 pound thrust engine, while the X-45B fieldable prototype will be powered by one GE F404-102D 7,000 pound thrust engine.

	Wild Weasel
		A number of F-105F models were converted to the F-105G antiaircraft suppression configuration and designated "Wild Weasel." Pilots flying Wild Weasel missions were tasked with the most hazardous duty of all, attracting the attention of the air-defense sites and then launching missiles to destroy the enemy's radar systems.
		For the Wild Weasel mission, the F-105G was armed with AGM-45 Shrike and AGM-78 Standard ARM missiles.
		In 1967, the first F-105G Wild Weasels were assigned to the 357th Tactical Fighter Squadron of the 355th Tactical Fighter Wing based at Tahkli Royal Thai Air Force Base in Thailand.

	Valor: Wild, Wild Weasel - April 1985
		The Wild Weasel crews, flying two-seat F-105Gs, took on the most dangerous and demanding mission of the air war in Southeast Asia.
		Their job was to precede a strike force into the target area, entice enemy surface-to-air missile and antiaircraft radars to come on the air, and knock them out with bombs or with missiles that homed on the radar's emissions.
		Head Weasel of the 357th Tactical Fighter Squadron at Takhli Air Base in Thailand was Maj. Leo Thorsness.

	F-4G ANATOMY OF A WILD WEASEL
		The latter phase of the Vietnam conflict saw an increase in Wild Weasel activity as the Communists deployed further and newer equipment.
		These circumstances indicated that the new Advanced Wild Weasel would have to be capable of agile manoeuvring at low level to evade fighters and surface defences while delivering its air to ground weapons.
		The USAF nominated the 1969-vintage Block 41 F-4E as the baseline airframe for the new Weasel and the designation EF-4E was adopted for the 116 conversions, this was subsequently changed to F-4G in view of the extent of the modification.

		The supposition is that the eagle had pounced on the weasel and the weasel swiveled and bit as instinct taught him, tooth to neck, and nearly won.
		The weasel was stunned into stillness as he was emerging from beneath an enormous shaggy wild rose bush four feet away.
		The weasel lives in necessity and we live in choice, hating necessity and dying at the last ignobly in its talons.

	Air Force Museum's "Wild Weasel" Exhibit
		An exhibit commemorating the accomplishments of the "Wild Weasels" during the Vietnam War was unveiled recently at the National Museum of the U.S. Air Force.
		The Wild Weasels were specialized U.S. Air Force crews and aircraft that suppressed enemy air defenses, including the Soviet SA-2, with direct attacks from 1965 to 1972.
		The Wild Weasels accomplished their mission at great risk to themselves -- 34 Wild Weasels were killed or missing in action and 19 became POWs.

	WildW1
		The Wild Weasel program and missions at Takhli RTAFB were flown by the two-seat version of the F-105.
		The purpose of the Wild Weasel missions in Air Force terms was to detect and destroy or suppress enemy radar sites that fired and controlled missiles against our strike force, which closely followed the Weasels into the target area.
		In simpler terms, it was for the Weasels to make themselves the target, and when the enemy locked on them with their radars, to try to fire back before the enemy pulled the trigger.

	Republic F-105F Thunderchief
		The first Wild Weasel aircraft were North American F-100F Super Sabre two-seat fighter-bombers which were modified in 1965 for the role of identifying, marking, and attacking North Vietnamese SAM sites, particularly their radar installations.
		The electronic weapons officer in the rear seat of the Wild Weasel F-105F operated a battery of sophisticated electronic equipment which was capable of detecting the emissions from enemy radars and determining the exact location of their sources.
		However, because of the nature of their missions, losses of the Wild Weasel F-105Fs were heavy, with five of the first eleven examples having been lost by the end of August.

	Wild Weasel (Ed Rasimus; Paul F Austin)
		The F-100F (which was Wild Weasel II--the first iteration being the USN Iron Hand A-4 aircraft), was merely a host for the first USAF RHAW gear, the APR 25/26.
		The F-4C Weasel seemed like a replacement for the 105G, but there was no room for the APR-38 that the 105 carried and the airframe never got the right combination of antennae to be reliable.
		I politely declined to question what "teaches the weasels to pop at eddies" means hoping that those who remember some of your other remarkeable assertions with regard to fratricide among nuclear tasked crews and Sparrow/Sidewinder carriage by Zulu F-106s would quietly discount it.

		Wild Weasel was always one that I really liked and never got much attention.
		His file card talked about how he was more than just a pilot but a mercenary as well, and I wanted to play to that aspect of the character, and I really like the concept of being shot down in hostile territory, so that's where I went with this one.

	AirToAirCombat.Com: McDonnell Douglas F-4 Phantom: F-4G Wild Weasel
		The original "Wild Weasel I" was a modified tandem-seat F-100F Super Sabre, but this aircraft could not keep with strike packages, and amounted to a proof-of-concept system.
		Late in the war, about 36 F-4Cs were modified to the "Wild Weasel IV" configuration, carrying radar detection and targeting systems along with the AGM-45 "Shrike" anti-radar missile (ARM), which was a Sparrow with a radar seeking head.
		The Wild Weasel IV conversion left something to be desired, and after the war 116 F-4Es were converted into the "Wild Weasel V" or "Advanced Wild Weasel", which was given the "vacant" designation "F-4G".

		Initially, the USAF converted 36 F-4Cs to the "Wild Weasel IV," incorporating the ER-142/ALR-53 receiver becoming the EF-4C.
		An initial batch of 116 F-4Es were converted to Wild Weasel V configuration starting in 1976.

	1/72 AMT F-100F Wild Weasel by J.C. Bahr
		The Weasel's also received three new replacement aircraft during this time, having lost 58-1221 during a training accident on March 13th and 58-1212 was shot down by AAA on March 23rd, killing Captains Clyde Dawson and Donald Clark.
		The Weasel F-100F's would serve until July 1966 when they were replaced by F-105F's that had better performance as the F-100 was deemed too slow to stay with strike packages that were being sent into North Vietnam.
		Also, I could not find any pics of any Wild Weasel Huns actually carrying an AGM-45 Shrike, but the profile in the Squadron book really made the Hun look totally different with the Shrike loadout and the text mentions that they were carried late in their service.

		I was especially impressed with the war load that a Phantom could carry and decided to add a lot of weapons to this kit.
		The kit is very acurrate for the F-4G, externally, providing all the proper bumps and bulges to make the "Wild Weasel" verion of the F-4 Phantom.
