Earlier LO asked 'did A-4 fail trample tests'. Dunno - that would have been a very long time ago indeed. I may go away in an attempt to find out - but then again I might not. Below is an excellent Laurie Hillier photo of an almost 'taxi 1' wire with some possible trample effect but also probably the main wheels/tyres have hit the deck just after no.1 wire.

Also the F-35C hook redesign (to make it look like the F-35A emergency hook and the A-4 hook) is to enable it to catch a trampled wire flat on the runway or deck - so not a future problem one hopes.
