To the best of my knowledge, aardvarks (111s) were never used as Wild Weasels.

I think they made pretty good attack bombers. Fighter bombers? or whatever they are called.

It was pretty neat watching those cameras photographing the bombs dropping, exploding and fading in the distance as the planes made their getaway.

EF-111A was an EW and ‘air defense suppression’ aircraft. Wild weasel by any other name...
