I was recently looking at some old videos I have on the Phantom 2 and was watching the carrier launches. It shows them hooking up the 3 point flexible bridal to the catapult and then the launch. The question is: what happens to the bridle? It doesn't come back with the catapult hook and I can't see where it goes. I am sure it doesn't go off the end of the ship and is never reused......... or does it??????
Thanks
