Our Story

First In. Last Out.

On December 22, 1965, a Wild Weasel crew scored the program's first confirmed kill of a surface-to-air missile site. From that day on, the Weasels had one of the most dangerous jobs in the sky: fly toward the threat, make the enemy radar lock on, and take it out so everyone else could get home.

Wild Weasel Coffee Co. was founded by Tom Ferguson, who lived that mission up close. Tom worked directly with the F-105, F-4E and F-4G Wild Weasel aircraft, and he took part in the initial testing of the HARM missile. The names on our bags aren't marketing. They're his history.

The Heritage Series

Every bag tells part of the story, from the aircraft that started it all to the ones that carry it on:

  • YGBSM, our signature combat blend: the F-100F, where it began
  • Radar Lock: the F-105 Thunderchief
  • HARM Strike: the F-4G Advanced Wild Weasel
  • SAM Slayer: the F-16CJ Fighting Falcon
