Those cables are amazing, to pull back a full force aircraft to a stop is mind bending

Mom said don't SLAM the screen door. Dad installed a Piston. Mom Smiled..ittle she know I could go out un-noticed. ;)

[@caretakerfochr3834]

The plane is travelling at 200mph max.

[@Realitygetreal]

@@caretakerfochr3834 Correct, however when the wheels hit the deck, they GO FULL POWER (in case they miss), so it is holding back up to the full force of the engines

[@aaronseet2738]

They spray foam not water. Water would carry any burning fuel (which floats on top) further around the deck which is asking for more trouble.

[@rumrunner1556]

Got a ride out to the Mid one morning in company with a USN CT and a package for delivery and installation aboard a Navy "boat". Can't talk much about that part of the mission but the ride out to the Mid in a C-1 Trader, the trapping aboard and subsequent launch to return home to the Japanese Air Base where we we stationed was MOST interesting. I've often wanted to go visit the Mid as I understand that she is now an afloat exhibit close to San Diego. I want to see if I can even remember the compartment where they stashed us while a rotor was being prepared to carry us out to the boat. Some day I may get there. My impression as an amateur recreational sailor of the ship --- DAMN!! These floating bird farms are HUGE !!!. My impression as a small acft pilot (Cessnas and Pipers) --- DAMN!! That runway is SHORT !!! Signed, A retired USAF Senior NCO Electronic Tech.

Having spent 16 years in the navy, it's not the cat shots but the recoveries that always scared the hell out of me. One thing was drilled into my head, if you don't need to be on the flight deck, stay off it. Great video though.

[@John-fp2ls]

What aircraft carrier w as you on

[@theDemocraticway]

I watched flight ops from the 011weather deck of Enterprise. I did see a A-4 come in with battle damage in on the 1967 deployment

[@wtfmanicanthaveaname]

Agreed, a miss or snap of a recovery will slice you in half. a catapult is pretty casual but looks cool as hell, especially when the pilot salutes and grabs that "oh shit handle".

I remember a while back I was standing on the Crow's Nest watching launches when a S3-Viking took off. You could tell something was wrong, they got turned upside down, ejected upside down, they didn't make it. Flight Ops is serious business, very dangerous.

Has an aircraft ever hooked more than one arresting cable coming in for a landing, also what would happen if it did?.

You'll get no answers from a bot that says its ok to hose water on burning jet fuel. Water spreads fire. Foam is used in fuel fires.

No the arresting hook is the shape and size to grab one wire it can't grab and hold a second wire.

[@jchoward6451]

It's a different Navy. In the 80s approval for NAMs was delegated down to the CO in most cases, and they began handing out NAMs as end-of-tour awards (provided you didn't screw up). I'd always thought a NAM required something extraordinary, like "disregarding his own personal safety, Petty Officer Mayweather braved withering machinegun fire and ran across the burning deck, dislodged the fallen ladder, opened the compartment and led his trapped shipmates to safety." Evidently not.

[@drcdrdoct9864]

I was thinking the same thing. Was on the Independence cv62 and rarely was anything given out except in extreme circumstances. But ship's company never got much compared to a squadron. We basically cut someone in two, blew up the LOX shop and burned up a whole berthing compartment in a few years. I don't think anyone got more than a CO's letter dealing with them.

Well you see the thing is they weren't on fire for 1.5 days. Maybe if you'd put that fire out in 1 day you would have gotten a metal?
