Part 1: Operation Midnight Hammer through the eyes of the F-16 Wild Weasel pilots who flew it.

This is the firsthand account of the 55th Fighter Squadron and the 20th Fighter Wing. These are the pilots who fly Suppression of Enemy Air Defenses, known as SEAD, the crews who went in first to suppress Iranian air defenses, and the ground support teams who made the mission possible.
