Default Cf-18 Hornet

All fighters have a hook even the F-117a has a hook it is for Mobile and
field arrestor Gear... Safety first


This jet was testing the gear. The Pilot is Major Lee "Midas" Vogan. He
was the demo Pilot in 2001 This is the second time I photographed him
catching the Cable at an Airshow First time was Lethbridge in 2001. This
one was Lethbridge 2008.

How come?

How come a tail hook on an aircraft that has never seen a carrier?

Is Canada holding out here? does it have a super-secret carrier that no one
knows about?

Please help!

Thanks much
