Pretty damned fortunate to be in an ex-navy Aardvark, and have a landing field with a cable!

Now that's very cool.......I'd agree, big brass balls.
These guys will make Chesley Sullenberger very proud......
When man and machine become one its amazing how its handled.

Not often the Air Force gets credit for a trap. Good work!

Whatever happened to foaming the runway to prevent fire?

Might harm the nut sucking ground gopher.
I guess people burning up inside a cigar tube is less important.

I think the footage of the afterburner/fuel dump, especially over downtown, gives them a pass on the overly environmentally sensitive charges. Without pickling it in foam they might have less damage....
Now I want to see a 4 ship F-111 pass in full afterburner, dumping fuel this 4th of July!
