The F-4 Phantom II, a signature combat aircraft of the Cold War, and arguably the Father of #PhantomWorks and where we get our name sake is a beast of plane and an engineering marvel in and of itself Despite its unconventional appearance (Its so ugly its beautiful), this two-seat, twin-engine, all-weather, long-range supersonic jet interceptor proved so adaptable that it saw service across all three combat branches of the United States, with a total of some 5,195 aircraft built, making it the most produced American supersonic military aircraft in history. One of the most interesting roles of the F-4, in my opinion, was the #WildWeasel role. Equipped with anti-radiation missiles, it was tasked with Suppression of Enemy Air Defenses #SEAD. A famous quote by Jack Donovan, a veteran Electronic Warfare Officer #EWO, upon learning that he was going to fly back-seat in a Wild Weasel sums up the role quite well: "You want me to fly in the back of a tiny little jet with a crazy fighter pilot who thinks he's invincible, home in on a SAM site in North Vietnam, and shoot it before it shoots me? You've gotta be shittin' me!" The F-4 Phantom II's legacy is undeniable, and its impact on military aviation cannot be overstated. #FirstinLastout

I agree with the author on the need to make the recommended adjustments with respect to how we war game. I am unsure if it is possible to do what is proposed with the people who regularly participate in war games. The problem isn't always the design of the game. Sometimes the problem is the participants who have a focus on solving a puzzle rather than developing a deeper and more profound understanding of the environment or creating opportunities for the participants to develop a common and powerful conception of the operational environment.

While my first game (Wekillya) is passing last tests, I decided to release demo of my second game. Hopefully Wekillya will be in market in few days (fingers crossed!) My second game - Ghahreman - is a live strategy defense game. You are a villain chosen by celestials to defend against evil forces. You have given God-like powers but surely it takes time for a mortal to master them. - Many strategy choices - Variety of game stiles ( tank - attack only - magic - melee - shield ,...) - Challenging - entertaining - hours of gameplay https://lnkd.in/gE2gZ-vu

Chief Historian at Air Force Life Cycle Management Center
6moMcDonnell Douglas can thank SecDef Robert McNamara for the windfall. Without his insistence on tri-service aircraft (you can throw the A-7 and F-111 in here too), there’s an almost zero chance the USAF would’ve purchased any F-4s. Because of that and the combat attrition in Vietnam, the Air Force didn’t have much choice in how they filled out their air superiority fleet. The versatililty of the airframe (as you noted) and the sheer numbers enabled the USAF to go truly multi-role with it. But you’ll note that they kicked off the programs that begat the F-15 and F-16 as soon as they could, before the 1960s were out.
