I guess you have never seen one of those bridle hooks pull out during a 72,000 lb cat shot and watched your friend go into the drink. In this picture the hold back bar had already broken. The hold back bar on the A-3 is connected near the tail hook. The two aft straps that you see in the picture are there to keep the bridle from going into the ocean. The stress is caused from the force on the bridle attempting to compress the nose gear. Here is my Whidbey Island next door neighbor's story: http://www.a3skywarrior.com/whaletal...33/142633.html |
