You've seen an F-15 with a tailhook? Where?

Israeli Airforce, 1978.
It was a small one, like the A4's tailhook.

It seems like other people saw the same thing, e.g.:

I don't diasagree about the F-117 not having a tailhook. However, according to
Clancy's Fighter Wing, the F-15 has a tailhook. However I have no idea what it
is used for, as the gear are not string enough for cats and traps.
