The 6" diameter arrestor cables for the B-52N were also a bit of a
problem, and were a pain to clear. Not to mention the three tailhooks
and how they were fitted to the fuselage, which reduced the bombload and
occasionally got caught on trees in low-level flight.

Apparently, waveoffs were also an 'intersting' experience.

Well, they weren't so much "waveoffs' as "waveoh****s!"
