Very cool

I don't think the F-16's landing gear would hold up to the kind of stress landing on carriers puts on it though Wink

That hook is meant for land based arresting gear.....

Land-based military airfields operating fighter or jet trainer aircraft also use arresting gear systems, although they are not required for all landings. Instead, they are used for landing aircraft on short or temporary runways, or for emergencies involving brake failure, steering problems or other situations in which using the full length of the runway is not possible or safe.
(From Wikipedia)

"Oh! I have slipped the surly bonds of Earth and danced the skies on laughter silvered wings. Sunward I've climbed and joined the tumbling mirth of sun split clouds.....and done a hundred things you have never dreamed of.....wheeled and soared and swung high in the sunlit silence. Hovering there, I've chased the shouting wind along and flung my eager craft through footless halls of air.

Up, up the long, delerious, burning blue I've topped the wind swept heights with easy grace where never Lark, nor even Eagle flew. While with silent lifting of mind I've trod the high untrespassed sanctity of space, put out my hand and touched the face of god"

Yes, i know CHUCK.
As i said here:
/yabb?num=1353695876
a little surprice on the hook, and therefor i tested the ac on a carrier landing. The wheels did touch the deck at the same time i hooked, at a very low speed!
Dont think i can do it again without a lot of practice
