“First In…”

An F-16 of the 55th Fighter Squadron. The Fightin’ Fifty Fifth is tasked with the Suppression of Enemy Air Defenses (SEAD) or “Wild Weasel” mission. During an air-strike, the Weasels go in first, attacking an enemy’s Surface-To-Air missiles, Anti-Aircraft Artillery, their associated radar and Command and Control. They will loiter near the target area during a strike continuing to go after enemy air defenses and are the last out as they mop up any remaining defenses. Their motto, “First In, Last Out.”
