ATC told me to hold while they recovered a Lightning in an emergency with a hydraulic problem.

He came down finals with the hook hanging down and touched down on the first few feet of the concrete undershoot (about 1000 feet before the touch down RHAG).

Why would he have done that unless he intended to hook the RHAG?

Whatever the problem, we felt sorry for him when the hook bounced over the wire.
