True that - perhaps they COULD have been A's up on an exercise

Chris, the Australian F/A-18's retain the arrestor hook from the Naval version, and it has been found to be beneficial, with a few having to trap on landing due to brake failures etc (Amberley still has the arrestor cables, as does WIlliamtown). The F-111 also used the system.
