  • I never put much thought into aircraft using the arresting hook on land. I'm curious as to what held the cables in place. Did they pour heavy concrete footing as a sturdy platform to build on?

  • @TheRantingCabbie The name of the arresting gear system was called MOREST ( Mobile Arresting Gear ). I was a member of an Operating Marine A4 Squadron and did not get involved in the workings of MOREST which was handled by MABS 12 ( Marine Air Base Squadron ). I believe the MOREST system was mounted on a flat bed truck. I believe there was Hydraulics involved to make for a smooth stop.

  • Great videos! Love those A4 landings - what a mighty little plane.

  • Thanks so much for uploading these Viet Nam videos. I've always been interested in this war. Maybe because I was born in '66.
