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.

In that case, why is Ed's response to me?

Don't look now, but Ed hasn't yet responded to your most recent
nonsense about an "F-15 in ground effect is a bad thing." Now,
lemme say this one more time so please try and follow along and just
forget about Ed for the time being, OK? I'm sure he's probably
wondering what you meant as well and will be jumping in here shortly.

Once again, you said an "F-15 is ground effect going fast would be a
bad thing." Do you even know what "ground effect" is? An F-15, or F-4,
-105 or any fast jet doesn't ingress and egress from the target area
in "ground effect." Sure, they fly low, but not THAT low!
