F-4G Wild Weasel
(formerly Phantom II)
Twin engined fighter with a two man crew. The 'Wild
Weasel' mission is to fly around until the enemy gets a radar lock, and fire a
HARM (High-explosive, Anti-Radiation Missile) at the attacking sight. The
secondary mission is to avoid any and all missiles launched at them while
fulfilling the first half of the mission. (A strong argument can be made that
Wild Weasel is the name of the mission that this plane is designed to fly, and
that the name is still Phantom II)
