False! The hook is removable! It’s the navy and they use the hook for when they go into PIRATE MODE! Duhhhh!

it's so you can fish it back out of the water

Much respect for navy pilots. Take off from 4 acres of flight deck then find it again and land on lt while it's moving

This made me laugh at work, thank you!

Well, I mean, I have no reason to believe it isn't except for the logic flowing through every fiber of my being...soooo...sounds good!

They do wash them. Salt spray and salt air are v. bad for metals.
JasonDoodle
no no, it's to test the temp of the water before diving in....duhhh

USAF 3EOX2 here.. Air Force pilots are very aware of what their tail hooks are for.

you mean a bucket of prop wash
UserSubHunterOfIndeterminateGender
Specialized cleaning solutions for aircraft propellers exist. Buddy actually brought back a 55-gallon drum when sent on that errand, once.

Don’t send that guy on a beer run ever again.

The danger is what happens to other planes paint, the joke is that you have to take your clothes off if it gets on you..

Sounds like a purple bath

was gonna point out that f15c's have tail hooks, but was pleasently suprised lol

Lots of Air Force jets have hooks. They're made for engaging emergency arresting gear that runs out a lot farther than carrier arresting>>
Mishn0
gear. If an F-15 tried landing using carrier style arresting gear the load would rip the hook right out of the back of the jet. >>

Air Force hooks are little spindly things compared to carrier jets. I've worked on both.
tbkelley1498
i figured more would, but i've only ever worked on 15s
Mishn0
I know F-16s and T-38s do to and I bet more have them. F-15s are awesome. I've worked on F-4s and F-16s.
tbkelley1498
i would give my left testicle to switch to 16s lol

What system do you work on?
