Trap rates for E-2 and C-2 types ?

John- Do the approach speeds for the E-2 and C-2 types improve the
percentage of traps to bolters compared to fast jets ? Do they tend to
catch the #3 more than jets ? BRBR

No and no...The best jet for me was the F-4 that was one of the fastest on
approach at the time...less time to screw something up...

You have a point there. For me the RA-5 was easy one. Of course you had to
pay attention, and keep your head and a** wired together. I think it was
because of the size and weight. When you had it together, it was just like
sliding down a greased rope. But it and the A-3 kept the flight deck on
their toes.
