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!

No. Look at CF-116 Freedom Fighters; they have hooks as well. The CF-188 has a hook because arrestor systems are used on CF airfields in emergencies. (All the same, the Ward Room in Halifax has a large display with the hooks of the Seafire, the Sea Fury and Banshee. There is an open space for the next CF carrier fighter. -- Andrew Chaplin SIT MIHI GLADIUS SICUT SANCTO MARTINO (If you're going to e-mail me, you'll have to get "yourfinger." out.)

The F-18 is also a carrier based aircraft by design. I assume the CF-188 tailhook is just the same hook as used by the US Navy? No spendy redesign to save a little weight for runway arrestor use?

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. Jacques wrote: How come?

I think they are carrier ready, but I do not know for sure. However, if it were not for the airfield arrestor systems, the hook would likely have been removed and stowed. -- Andrew Chaplin SIT MIHI GLADIUS SICUT SANCTO MARTINO (If you're going to e-mail me, you'll have to get "yourfinger." out.)

Thank you all.
How about that! I never thought that an arrestor cable was part of "safety systems" at a Canadian air Base, especially where the CF-18 are located . . .. Never saw one at CFB Trenton though . . .

Trenton is the home base for the Hornet Hookers They are the boys that
take care of the MAGS and they are deployed a lot. Jacques wrote: Thank you all. How about that!

During the overhaul of the star fighters at NWI, Edmonton. DND installed an
arrestor cable system at the international airport. Thats were the star fighters were trucked to for wing install and test flights. We would string the cable, and the remove it after the A/C had landed. -- John Crawford Lead Me Not Into Temptation I Can Find It Myself Thank You
