Perhaps of interest, a US study on ski jumps. Commented on the 1979 US Navy trials with F-14, F-18 and T-2C with the F/A-18 taking the ramp some 91 times, then goes into length about ground based use by USAF types. The F-4E was not suitable due to excessive forward stick requirements. I also seem to recall the E-2 Hawkeye was ruled out from ski jumps during US navy studies, maybe due to gear loading- can't quite recall?
