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... P. C. Chisholm CDR, USN(ret.)

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. Red |
