Phantom Friday... is back.
No long narrative this week, just some dramatic PHANTOM pics.
VF-31 F-4B Phantom crosses the ramp going for a trap.
Some unusual things here. The aircraft is rather low, flying pretty close to the dreaded ramp. Also note that the preferred #3 wire (arresting cable) is missing. There was probably a problem with the #3 arresting engine below deck (there is an engine for each wire) so the cross-deck pendant was stripped and the LSO told the pilot to fly a shorter approach for the #2 wire. Not optimal but it could be done safely with care in good conditions. A compromise between targeting #2 and #4. The latter would likely result in more bolters, and with aircraft in the foreground crewed up and ready to launch, there was no time to waste.
