YGBSM stands for "Ya Gotta Be Shi**in' Me". During the Vietnam conflict, there was a group
of pilots called the Wild Weasels. YGBSM was the response of the initial pilot, upon learning
from his CO what the mission was going to be. Wild Weasels would fly intentionally into
harms way, looking to have the Surface to Air Missile (SAM) sites lock onto them. Once that
happened, they could identify where to fire their target. But in the meantime, since that SAM
site had you in his cross-hairs, they'd have to fly their ass off so they could avoid being blown
out of the sky before they could swing around and take out the site.
My father was (is) a Wild Weasel - and I couldn't be any more proud of him and his service to
our country. If you were a Weasel - you've earned my respect many, many times over.
Air Force blue letters on a mirrored background. Personally, I think it looks great. I hope that
you agree.
Each cover begins as an acrylic plate that is laser cut to the correct shape. Since there are
two colors – there are two plates involved. The separate pieces are then assembled and glued
to the ½” billet aluminum cover.
It looks as though the letters stand out - they don't. That's just an illusion caused by the
reflective background.
The cover measures 6" wide and 3" tall and fits a standard 2" receiver hitch. We can do the
1.25" size as well - but that'll be a special order (and another $5.00).
This cover sells for $32.39 plus $6.50 shipping and handling. If the delivery address is in
Colorado, tax will be calculated and added on as well. Just choose the 10% Discount button
on the How to Order page.
Guaranteed for as long as you own it. If there’s a problem – return it to me and it’ll be repaired
and returned to you.
