Cold War: Approximately 1947 (due to U.S. President Harry Truman’s Truman Doctrine) to 1991 (Operation Desert Storm, collapse of Soviet Union).

The U.S. National Archives makes available a lot of cool imagery, but unfortunately a lot of the info issued with it is wrong. Can’t blame the National Archives, they simply repost what was given to them, so a lot of the ‘false’ info actually comes from the source; the U.S. Department of Defense. The following is a case-in-point; photos of Cold War era Exercise Gangbuster #11 show both F-4C Phantom-2s and F-105G Thunderchief ‘Wild Weasels’, it lists both aircraft as being with the “128th Tactical Fighter Squadron, 116th Tactical Fighter Wing, Texas Air National Guardsmen”. For the record, the F-4s are part of the Texas Air National Guard but not the 128th TFS/116th TFW, the F-4Cs belong to the 182nd Tactical Fighter Squadron, 149th Tactical Fighter Wing. The F-105Gs are part of the 128th TFS/116th TFW, which is Georgia Air National Guard. In some photos the obvious belly of an F-105G is shown, yet the info says it is an F-4 Phantom II. Also, the exalted U.S. Air Force/National Guard info calls the F-105 the “Delta Dart”! Maybe this was an attempt to deceive the Soviets?

Gangbuster XI took place on Stewart Airfield, Georgia, in April 1981. It was about bombing accuracy, and included the USS Clifton Sprague (FFG-16) as a floating target in The Atlantic Ocean.

I could find only two photos of Texas F-4Cs at Gangbuster XI, so here’s a photo of a 182nd TFS/149th TFW F-4C ‘intercepting’ a Soviet Tu-95 ‘Bear’ near Iceland, in 1981:
