www.murdoconline.net/A US Air Force (USAF) F-16C Fighting Falcon, 120th Fighter Squadron (FS), 140th Fighter Wing (FW), Colorado Air National Guard (COANG), flown by USAF Major (MAJ) Julian Clay, finishes refueling from a USAF KC-135E Stratotanker, 108th Air Refueling Wing (ARW), New Jersey Air National Guard (NJANG), during the second Tiger Meet of the Americas. The Falcon is carrying an AIM-9 Sidewinder missile (left) and Air Combat Maneuvering Instrumentation (ACMI) pod under the wing and an Acceleration Monitor Assembly (AMA) pod on the wing tip. The Tiger Meet of the Americas, first ever held in Canada, inaugurated in 2001 in the Western Hemisphere to carry on the Tiger tradition of the long-established European original experience; promoting solidarity and operational understanding between NATO members. The Meet attracted 400 participants and over 20 aircraft, with at least 6 fighter jets painted in distinctive "Tiger" schemes. For a squadron to be invited, only one simple criterion required, the unit must have a Tiger or other big cat on their unit's insignia or as a mascot. Date Shot: 17 Sep 2003

Oh and an F-117 also has a tail hook just incase

Eerrmmm.... you guys are looking at an overhead shot of the Intrepid Air Museum in New York. The carrier has been converted to house a collection of old military aircraft. Why do you think there is such a different variety on the carrier deck?Originally posted by |-|05|:Looks photoshoped to me.But if it's on a CV it's most likely and A-12 which is the plane that the SR-71 was modified from.And the A-12 and be used on a carrier.

And just because the F-117 has a tailhook, it doesn't mean that it can be used as a carrier based aircraft. Quite a few aircraft have tailhooks on them but you would never see them on carriers... F-15, F-16, F-104 etc... Tailhooks can also be used on land as certain military runways are equipped with arrestor cables to shorten stopping distances in emergency situations.
And the A-12 you were mentioning about is the one that would have been derived from the A-6 Intruder if it had been developed. The A-12 Avenger II was envisioned as a replacement to the A-6 but was never developed in the end. -
