Very cool 8-) 8-)
I don't think the F-16's landing gear would hold up to the kind of stress landing on carriers puts on it though ;)

That hook is meant for land based arresting gear.....

Land-based military airfields operating fighter or jet trainer aircraft also use arresting gear systems, although they are not required for all landings. Instead, they are used for landing aircraft on short or temporary runways, or for emergencies involving brake failure, steering problems or other situations in which using the full length of the runway is not possible or safe.

Yes, i know CHUCK.
As i said here:

a little surprice on the hook, and therefor i tested the ac on a carrier landing. The wheels did touch the deck at the same time i hooked, at a very low speed!
Dont think i can do it again without a lot of practice  :)
