I'm sure a bunch will repsond but they weren't 'arrested' landings but just
maxreverse pitch when landing, with lots of WOD. Done by Admiral, then
LCDR(?)Flatley. I was in VF-33 when he was CAG..P. C. ChisholmCDR,
USN(ret.)Old Phart Phormer Phantom, Turkey, Viper, Scooter and Combat
Buckeye Phlyer
Its actually quite a well known feat caught on video and available to almost
anyone and seen on Discovery and PBS within the past year.
A much more interesting video is a Herc landing and taking off on a football
field with the goal posts up.
To me the scariest Herc film is a Herc picking up a downed flier at sea via the
use of a balloon put up by the downed flier. I truly think I would rather take
my chances in the water than get jerked into the air at the end of a long
cable.
Getting jerked out of the air by a medium length cable is scary enough.
