Just of curiosity, I would have thought that things like this are considered classified? Did you need to seek clearance to publish this? Or is there certain things that the US military isn't as fussy about (like this)?
My own engineering war stories are just that, stories. Any technical information I gave was taken from released sources only. I am extremely conscious of this
I assume that since the plane is public and there are pictures of it landing, information regarding the tailhook doesn't have to be classified. People who want to know, will.
