The F-4 Phantom II was a Mach 2.2 fighter aircraft developed by McDonnell Douglas in 1958. It served for over 30 years in the Air Force, Navy, and Marine Corps in many roles, most famously the anti-scud Wild Weasel squadrons. There they would attempt to outrun and outmaneuver enemy ground-to-air missiles in the Gulf War, while destroying enemy radar installments.
These squadrons would use such tactics as provoking enemy SAM launchers to fire radar-seeking missiles in order to allow other aircraft to locate and destroy the stations.
