Two-Seat F-105 Wild Weasel with AGM-45 Shrike Approaches KC-135 Tanker, Vietnam War Era
A two-seat F-105 Wild Weasel, armed with an AGM-45 Shrike anti-radiation missile, closes in on a KC-135 tanker's refueling boom high above the clouds. Wild Weasel crews flew some of the most dangerous missions of the Vietnam War, deliberately drawing enemy surface-to-air missile radars into the open so they could be destroyed. Project: 219012
