Yep, Mr Warner no doubt did an outstanding job supporting his new pilot - a testament to both his character and his training - what a nice bloke.
My questions are these:
1. Did the cable & tape from the arresting system run out to its full length?
2. If not, what might have happened in the event that the pig kept going? What would have given way at that (low) speed? The tape, cable or hook/aircraft?
3. What damage was done to the runway? How long was/is it closed for? How did they move the pig? I don't believe they have the cranes/trucks on bases for this type of event.
