LOL .. never worked on the 111's.

When I was in Thailand, they ran a lil exercise against our F-4's out of Udorn ..111's went thru the F-4 formation before the F-4's knew they were in the area .. ROFL.. from back to front ..then peeled away left and right.

About the most perfect way of sayin 'Bang, yer DEAD' there is :)

(heard about it from some of the younger pilots that were there in a big party that nite ..there was always a big party somewhere :)

And ya . .phased array is active.
Interestingly enough ..it works for jammin also -evil grin-
(ECM rule #1: you dont jam the radar ..you jam the reciever)
another rule: a 500lb Mk 82 thru the dish *will* jam any ground radar ..aka 'active jamming' :)

-GE (and a 'G' can put a mk 82 thru a dish from amazingly far out.. whether it's on or not)
'The better I shoot ..the less I have to manuever'

They put green reflective paint on the birds so the air controllers can find them.   ;)
