Off topc: Love the "YGBSM" motto. Apparently this was said by a former Electronic Warfare Officer who had converted from B-52's to fast jets in Vietnam. When he learned that he had to fly in a fast jet to attract SAM's he said: " Y ou G otta B e S hitting M e!!" :D hahahaha....doesn't sound awkward...

And on with some historical pictures and WW facts.... http://www.reinierbergsma.com/scramble/wildweasels/F105-vietnam.jpg A two-seat version of the F-105 Thunderchief. This is probably a trainer version but the 2-seaters also became the 2nd version of the "Wild Weasel" to replace the original F-100...

allow me small sidestep, but a great tip to get into the real F-105 feel; Read the books written by Ed Rasimus!! Great stories and well written too, he mentions and describes a bit on Weasel flights as well though he only did WW1 sorties... Cool! Will look into that one, and any form of information...

ALso found a nice piece of video via daily motion on the Wild weasels, Njoy!

I do have a few, http://i37.photobucket.com/albums/e85/warthog64/aviation%20oldies/F-4GgeorgeAFB1989.jpg Wow Roel, love them! The "OT" WW's, where were they stationed? Is that Otis? Were you also a frequent visitor of Spangdahlem back in the eighties? Got some old Wildweasels catched at Spangdahlem ...

Interesting topic and nice pictures. I am just wondering about the ´Chiefs. You are posting an F-105D and F-105F, but weren´t the F-105Gs actually the Wild Weasels? Or did they only become dedicated Wild Weasels after experience with the other models? I am not a expert in anyway, so I could be wron...
