Would you mean F-100F Weasel, F-105F Weasel, F-105G Weasel, F-4C
Weasel or F-4G Weasel??? I've flown next to four of those five (in
combat) and will testify that none of them have any particular
advantage for going fast. In fact, the Weasel conversions for all five
aircraft add bumps and blisters for antennae that increase drag.

Yes, an F-105 is fast and I will testify that the airplane is capable
of supersonic flight at extreme low altitude, but I'd opt for
single-seat D model to really go fast and not a wart-encrusted
two-seater.

The F-4G Weasel, of course was LES.

I mean an F-15 in ground effect that fast would be a bad thing.

First, what you just wrote has nothing to do with what Ed just said.
Second, doubtful an F-15 loaded for bear ever flies in ground effect
except for a few brief seconds during takeoff and landing (operational
Eagle drivers out there can jump in here and correct me if I'm wrong).
Finally, ANYTHING moving at the speed of heat at less than 1/2
its wingspan above the surface is a "bad thing." So WHAT, pray tell
Tarver, are you babbling on about now???
