F-4 Phantom Study Notes. |
The F-4 Phantom is one of the most successful jet fighters ever made.First made in the early part of the Viet Nam War, the F-4 Phantom II is still flying in the United States Air Force as well as many other countries military air forces. One of the interesting jobs where the F4 Phantom used is the function as the Wild Weasel. For this job the F-4 Phantom Wild Weasel jet fighter intentionally fly's into suspected surface to air missile areas attempting to draw fire from the enemy missile SAM sites. Are these pilots are probably crazy, but this allows the wild weasel to fire its weapons (HARM Missiles) at the ground radar site. This method has been very successful and has been widely used from the Viet Nam era to the Gulf War. I'm not sure, but one reason that the phantom may be so successful at this job may be because of the it's construction provided very little stealth characteristics. The HARM Missile System (High Speed Anti-Radiation Missile) detects the enemy's radar energy using the HTS (Harm Targeting System) antennas and processes the radar information in an onboard computer which determines bearing and range to the radar source. The HTS system also determines what type of SAM (Surface to Air Missile) site the target is (SA-3, SA-4, etc.) The HTS system also works with the other passive ECM (Electronics Counter Measures) systems on the F-4 Phantom II jet fighter.The U.S. Marines painted one of their F-4 Phantoms with VMFA-321's - the Hell's Angels' Colors. These F-4 Phantom models come in wooden airplane models, diecast metal airplane models, plastic airplane model kits and mahogany aircraft models. Models are the ultimate educational toy.

This exhibit shows the Patterson Aircraft Company in 1980. This is the place that I worked in the last part of the 70's and the first part of the 80's. This was the best job that I have ever had and one of the best crews that I have ever worked with. C. Jeff Dyrek, webmaster. Exhibit Added 1 Sep 2004 |
