Interesting. Forgetting the title, it ttok me a while to realise it was a runway and not a carrier! Must take some timing trying to pop the chute x seconds before you catch a wire...

Wow, I used to see this on a daily basis as I spent six months on 23 sqn. They certainly slammed them onto the deck which caused the runway overmatting to shift. Look close and you can see that it`s armed with 4 skyflash missiles and 4 sidewinder 9L missiles plus a centreline 600 gallon tank, this tank was normally replaced with the SUU gun pod. One hell of a machine though and amazing to see close up.
