    The F4G was the baddest version of the Phantom ever made most lethal too. In the hill gray paint scheme she looks like a hungry great white shark. F4G Wild Weasels still are the meanest aircraft to grace the skies and her crew had balls of STEEL!

    F4G is a F4E modified. The nose gun is removed and replaced with ECM equipment. The radar displays are replaced with new digital displays and the analog computer is replaced with a new digital computer. I worked F4 weapons Control System for 20 years, 68-88 including 15 months at Danang Vietnam.

    I worked in that organization during the time this video was recorded. Was in the squadron when we deployed the Wild Weasels to REDACTED for the 1991 Gulf War. Great mission. Ballsy pilots.

    With EF-111s Ravens and F-4Gs Wild Weasels, the Air Force blinded Iraq's Integrated Air Defense System. The 18 EF-111s in the AOR flew over 900 sorties with a mission capable rate of 87.5 %; and the 48 F-4Gs flew over 2,500 sorties with a 87 % mission capable rate. Because the Iraqis feared the F-4G and its HARM missile, they made brief, limited and ineffective use of their radars. When they did choose to operate these radars, the effective jamming of the EF-111 negated their ability to track, acquire, and target attacking aircraft. Every day the Weasels and Ravens supported shooters as they attacked their targets in Iraq and the Kuwaiti Theater of Operations (KTO). One sign of their success was that after day four, all allied aircraft operated with impunity in the mid to high altitude environment across the AOR. By decreasing the threat of SAMs to our strike aircraft, EF-111s and F-4Gs permitted aircraft to deliver their weapons from an environment where they can be very lethal.

    At 6:13 a quick shot above George AFB. Worked Weasels from 80-86 when TAC changed from MMS to ASS. Given the government’s propensity for using acronyms, that change never made sense to me, since these fighter pilots without us were just another airline.....albeit a sports car version of one;)
