EF-111A was an EW and ‘air defense suppression’ aircraft. Wild weasel by any other name...
Yes, they were brimming with electronic suppression. When I was at Lakenheath, those FB-111 pilots spoke lovingly of their airplanes. They gave me a sticker, with a picture of a FB-111, with a mushroom cloud behind it, and it said "Warsaw Pact central heating" How non PC is that? It was FBs that attacked Libya (among others, maybe) and one failed to return. When I was at Travis, they had a missing man formation ceremony for that. I cleared them for takeoff. It was awesome.
