The Weasels
The constant threat to all American aircraft missions was the Russian built surface-to-air missile known as SAM. One counter was the Wild Weasel mission, with the motto 'First in and Last out'. Weasel pilots would fly ahead of other aircraft, exposing themselves to enemy radar lock-on in order that the Strike missile they carried could use that same signal to target the enemy ground base and thereby clear the way.
