I was hoping to pics from the last *decent* Tailhook (as taken through night
vision goggles).

Larry,

Top ten reasons why it's highly unlikely such will ever be available:

10. Very few night passes are actively observed, much less graded.
9. Who really wants to be known as the "yo-yo tanker"?
8. The NUGGET's PLAT tapes have awful resolution.
7. High embarrassment factors for cold cats, hook skips, bolters and "right
for line-up" calls.
6. Can't blame the burble for a botched trap.
5. Age does NOT improve the "look around the boat" of many low Rocket
numbers.
4. Night plugs can get really sloppy.
3. "Manning the spare" has absolutely NO positive cachet.
2. Double-cycling reduces - rather than improves - performance.

and the No. 1 reason:

Do you really want to call it a "greenie board"?
